Retailers make the world go ‘round. They take that amazing product from the hands of the developer, the industry, the factory, the phenomenal creative agency and they distribute it to eager customers, aching for that wondrous product to fill that niche in their life. Retailers are far more than middlemen—they provide customer service, shopping assistance, shipping and fulfillment, bargain prices, product reviews, product information and much, much more. While the products may be what drives shoppers to the Web, it’s the retailers that build trust and customer satisfaction for thousands of products and companies each day.
