Practical eCommerce Interview: Lessons Learned

October 29, 2008

Brendan Gibbons from Practical eCommerce contacted us for an interview and here’s an excerpt:

“Lessons Learned” is an occasional series where we ask experienced ecommerce merchants about their mistakes and successes. For this installment, we asked Jon West, co-founder of 3tailer, a niche firm based in Charlotte, N.C. with over 50,000 individual products sold on 17 websites. West and Chad Ledford, the other co-founder, started 3tailer in 2005 while studying at Appalachian State University. Since then, 3tailer has grown enough to garner over $1 million in annual revenue, relying on inventory suppliers to drop-ship all of the sales. Here we give you West’s experience and suggestions.
