We’re all familiar with shopping online. Online business-to-consume shopping has been around since the mid-nineties and has exploded in popularity and use over the past years. Beyond the big box stores and online giants, there are many people operating small businesses and shops, both in brick-and-mortar and online, to get their unique products into the hands of consumers. Shopify alone has over 500,000 vendors on their site. As well, there are over 650,000 registrations of the wonderfully memorable .SHOP domain extension. Small vendors and shop owners are finding unique ways to stand out with their creations and their online brands.
