Top 5 Ecommerce Blogs in 2016

As the Internet has grown over the last few years, it has catalyzed impressive changes in the way commerce is conducted — regardless of sector. Additionally, the Internet has spawned incredible amounts of new business ventures. These new companies offer an incredible array of services and goods, both old and new in type. But especially important is the new era of online sales in the ecommerce sector.
Ecommerce companies offer the full spectrum of services and goods, just without brick and mortar stores. However, in addition to ecommerce companies themselves, a whole industry has grown up alongside them, built to help and educate up-and-coming ecommerce businesspeople. The Internet and its sales trends change every year; the blogs do not always follow. Therefore, there are 5 top ecommerce blogs that are especially relevant in 2016.
