Ever wondered about the history of the online transaction? Or the industry that changed shopping for most of us? (The ecommerce industry that is). Well, if so, lucky for you, Rachel Stevens has been doing her research! Digging deep into the past, when we had to walk among people to purchase a loaf of bread, or battle it out on the high street for a new outfit, when Amazon was a platform to buy BOOKS, and not everything and the kitchen sink (literally - you can buy a kitchen sink on there, we've checked), the first of MANY online transactions was made. Ahead of the busiest shopping period of the year (Black Friday, Cyber Monday... Christmas) we thought we'd share the story of how it all came about 📖 Check the blog out, and if you wanted to have a chat with us about your ecommerce business, get in touch our website. https://lnkd.in/gmVFqbzu
