A newly released forecast anticipates that retail e-commerce will account for nearly $2tr in worldwide sales this year - and will more than double by 2020.

U.S. retailers gearing up for the holidays could be overlooking a key source of sales: international shoppers. To win in the global e-commerce race, companies can't rely on the same approach they use domestically. Featured products, marketing content, and promotions targeting U.S. consumers may not resonate in all markets. For example, as U.S. retailers promote their discounts on that latest style winter coat, super-fast sled or snow tires, they'll need to remember that it's summer in Australia.

Nearly a fifth of shoppers would avoid a retailer that has been a victim of a cybersecurity hack, according to a survey.

Today's consumer is a lot different than the consumer of 5 years ago, or even one year ago. Consumers today are making purchases both on and offline, through mobile devices, and even social channels from all over the world. Retailers are transforming their business strategies to engage these consumers, wherever they are, but not every retailer is seeing the payoff for their efforts.
