Your competition is ready. 84 percent of retailers plan some sort of special online only promotion fot this season. That’s up from 72 percent last year.

There is gold in his words, but when it comes to actually managing the content in a search engine and human friendly manner, Mr Hunt (and his clients websites) totally drop the ball.
