eRetailer Best Practices: Let’s learn how to build startups with Audicus and Avalara!

Welcome back to the eCommerce forum!

Building an eCommerce startup is challenging. For one, competition is fierce–especially if a company can’t find a niche market. Secondly, startups need to improve scalability if they do find their niche market because product demands can skyrocket. Finally, a startup will need to find talent to help with the growing demands. These are just a few of the challenges startups face. Don’t worry if you’re feeling intimidated; we have solutions.

There will be two amazing companies presenting at our upcoming eCommerce Meetup. They will teach us eRetailer best practices for building online startups.  This is the perfect event for anyone interested in improving online business. The Meetup will take place at 7:00 p.m., August 12, 2015 at our Midtown loft in New York. Here is a brief overview of what to expect:
