I wanted to draw you attention to a FREE resource for those of you who want to benefit from a community of the world’s digital marketing and ecommerce professionals. Econsultancy exists to help its members “sharpen their strategy, source suppliers, get quick answers, compare notes, help each other out and discover how to do everything better online.” I have to say that it is a great source of independent advice and insight on digital marketing and ecommerce.
imho there’s no shortage of marketing opinion online, but being ten years and with 71,000 marketers Econsultancy is pretty special. Bronze membership is FREE and there is more info here.
These are complimentary reports you get for free upon joining (there’s another 20+ too!). Great, er, value!
