E-commerce is booming right now, so we wanted to sit down and have a conversation about how entrepreneurs can plan for success online. Nathaniel Kendrick, the founder of The Kendrick Company, shared 5 important e-commerce principles that he learned through his experience as an entrepreneur, a marketer, and a business consultant.
