"I have been struggling for some time looking for eCommerce content for my course without reinventing the wheel. All the books I found were so outdated. When a colleague of mine who uses Stukent for our Social Media Management course said she saw eCommerce, I was so excited and emailed our Stukent rep right away. I really like the content of [the] text and the assignments are fun and relevant – exactly what I have been looking for!"
