"The retail industry is undergoing a dramatic shift: E-commerce is capturing a larger share of sales than ever before."  Business Insider Intelligence

Smart, far-sighted thinkers will see the internet is in a constant state of evolution in communication, culture and commerce.  They will want to start to monetize these trends and get a piece of internet profits.  More narrow-minded thinkers will revert to a simple viewpoint this is only about "online shopping for shoppers only"... not my kind of physical distribution of a real product.

Here are 7 major changes (out of 70 slides) that may well impact your thinking about the increasing value of e-commerce and the right time to check out a unique way to capitalize on these huge trends.  

1. New definition of retail - how to offer people the services and products they want on the devices and media they use.
2. The old retail model is dying - fast! Hundreds of stores are closing (major ones include Barnes and Noble, GAP, Abercrombie and Finch, Staples, JCPenney, Sears, etc.)
3. The shoppers are changing their locations to Amazon, E Bay, Wayfair, Zulily, Overstock.com, blue nile, rakuten, Alibaba Group, Birchbox, Snapdeal.com, etc.
4. Shoppers are  buying - everything - consumer electronics, books, office supplies, pet supplies, sporting,  hobby goods, appliances, home furnishing, clothing and accessories, health and personal care, luxury goods and recently, food and beverages.
5. Percentage of retail sales attributable to online in merchandise categories  is 60% and growing.  52% of retail sales are web influenced even offline.
6. Shift to online retail is global with the Middle East, China and India leading the pack.
