What's New at Shopify: Oct. 12, 2018
Shopify has been gearing up for the holiday season. They've added additional features around creating and tracking marketing campaigns as well as more checkout and buy button options.
Holiday Marketing Ecommerce Planning
Shopify has released a summary of their holiday marketing survey they performed with 51 of their larger stores. Even though it's heavily biased towards larger stores, there's some interesting tidbits I've found.

Segment your customers for fun and profit (but mostly profit)
Segmenting your customers has always been touted as a powerful marketing tool but many stores avoid it because it can be time-consuming.
