Practical Ecommerce
Practical Ecommerce was established in July 2005 by Kerry and Joy Murdock in Grand Junction, Colorado, U.S. The goal of the site is to offer straightforward articles and insights to support ecommerce businesses. In 2012, we expanded by acquiring another site, Web Marketing Today, which was originally launched in 1995. This site focuses on helping local service-oriented businesses.

Shakil Prasla once owned 12 ecommerce consumer brands generating $50 million in combined annual revenue with 50 employees. But he grew wary of the fluctuating revenue and non-stop marketing, so he pivoted during Covid to wholesale personal protective equipment. That’s when he and I last spoke.

We often frame selling a business as “exiting.” But it’s a decision to walk away, to quit. That’s not negative, but it’s important to examine your reasons.
