There is nothing new about online shopping. Cyber Monday grabbed many people's attention as the perfect way to shop for bargains, drawing people in to the world of easy shopping with no crowds, fast delivery, and great prices. Now Amazon is even talking about the future of drone deliveries - what?! Will I eat my words in 10 years from now when it becomes an every day thing? But what, then, will become of the small independents, right in your own town? Shopcaster has a solution for that. I have talked about this site before on my blog, but wanted to make another mention now that they have grown tremendously, servicing many cities with a much more agreeable delivery system. Shopcaster is the online solution for the little shop keeper. I love it! Check it out here.
