Learn eCommerce From A Top Online Retailer: New eCommerce Blog

New eCommerce Blog Logo

PlumberSurplus.com, one of the top Online retailers of 2007, has recently launched a brand new eCommerce and entrepreneurship blog dedicated to sharing their experiences, lessons and insights within the eCommerce space during their time selling Online.

I think the idea of retailers sharing their experiences with the rest of the space is fantastic and could really shed some light on many of the things that work and some that don’t. It’s a great way to dispel myths, gain insights into real world experience and an opportunity to learn from someone who knows many of the steps needed to reach that ultimate goal of entrepreneur success. It reminds me of our Store Spotlight series with some of the top 100 retailers. In fact, not too long ago we conducted an in depth interview with Zach about some of the things that have led up to PlumberSurplus’ success.

Here’s what Zach Applegate of PlumberSurplus.com had to say about the new blog…

Many of us here at PlumberSurplus.com have been talking about this for a while are excited to get it up and running. The blog will be a collective of experiences, thoughts, processes and updates from people that are not only actively working in eCommerce but are also zealous about the industry.

The PlumberSurplus blog is not the typical eCommerce merchant blog, where retailers share product information, updates, contests, etc. Rather it is a blog where the folks at PS get to share their experiences from the eCommerce industry with the rest of us as they happen. They already have a bunch of staff members lined up as authors, so it will be interesting to see what each of them have to bring to the table, specialty wise. So far, Vanessa, Zach and Matt have been blogging the most, but it looks like there may be up to 10 authors who will contribute regularly.

It’s great to see this type of enthusiasm/participation from one of the top 100 internet retailers, and their willingness to share experiences, findings and their story makes it that much more of a great idea, in my opinion. I for one can’t wait to see where they take the blog and how it (and the links it generates) affects their retail side of the site (since the blog is on the same domain as the store). So far, the posts and content seem to be right up my alley and I’m sure it will be the same for others here. If you haven’t already, be sure to drop by the new PlumberSurplus eCommerce blog and begin learning about eCommerce from a top online retailer.
