Online retailers in Australia have been poorly served by local publishers and conference/event organisers.
We found that out for ourselves a couple of years back with our Onlineshop2007 event.
There just wasn't any single channel we could find to cost-effectively promote the event.
And similarly, we found it difficult to find anyone who was writing or commenting on news and developments affecting the local online retail sector.
Two years later however, and the situation is much better.
Only today we stumbled across a new daily service from Octomedia which is dedicated to local online retailing. You can find it at www.etailtoday.com.au
Another with publishing aspirations in this area are the boys up on the Gold Coast putting together a mega online retail event in Sydney later this year.
Their site at www.online-retailer.com.au suggests they're attracting plenty of local industry support, and good luck to them.
Overseas, of course, there are numerous online publishing effort devoted to online retailing,
Shop.org in the US springs readily to mind and www.imrg.co.uk is also impressive.
I also like a new site I stumbled upon today called www.ecommercepodcast.com.
