Welcome to Retail Bytes

Welcome to Retail Bytes, the new e-commerce and technology blog from Retail Week.

On the blog, we will point out the most interesting retail technology news from around the web and provide additional news and analysis from Retail Week reporters.

You’ll find site reviews and posts highlighting innovative new features on leading and lesser-known transactional web sites. We will highlight news from the wider technology world that impact retailers’ online efforts, such as search engine optimisation, social media and the development of mobile devices. We’ll also keep an eye on the online-specific skills retail marketing specialists need to understand, including highlighting innovations and best practice in e-mail marketing, social commerce and seach engine optimisation.

Unlike the rest of the Retail Week website, which is only accessible to subscribers, the blog will be free to read, thanks to our launch sponsor, ChannelAdvisor.

Most importantly, we hope the blog will be highly interactive. Once you have completed our free registration process, you will be able to comment on any of the posts. And we will continue the conversation about retail technology on Twitter, where you can find us by following @retailbytes.
