This past week has been all about e-commerce, with Bizcommunity's Leigh Andrews reporting from the eCommerce Africa conference. Check out the two crucial elements of mobile success, find out how digital disruption is really redefining retail, and engage with digitally literate shoppers. Also, Tracey Swart tells us to take advantage of the e-commerce boom, seeing as SACSC Omni-Channel Retailing study insists SA retailers must be online to be on sight this year. Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and with it falling on a Saturday, gives a great opportunity for experience gifting. However, if you are feeling at a bit of a loss over what to get your loved one this year, Takealot.com has offered a little help and listed its top 10 gift ideas. Finally, if you are in Cape Town this Thursday 12 February, join us at Cape Town's premier New York-style rooftop auditorium for The BizTrends Imbizo Event; selected contributors will present an overview of the 2015 trends from Bizcommunity's Definitive African Marketing and Media Trend Report.
