Note from the editor

 
Traditional retailers have a complicated relationship with e-commerce. Unlike Amazon and many DTC companies, they're under pressure to make a profit.

Of course, the pandemic only boosted e-commerce, after a year when consumers couldn't — or wouldn't — go to stores. The digital operations that most retailers put in place were a saving grace last year. But all these factors, along with the fact that shoppers are now heading back to physical stores, make for a cloudy horizon. What's the trajectory for e-commerce now? If growth remains the story, what about profits?

In our latest episode of The Backroom, now live, we talk about what Senior Reporter Ben Unglesbee discovered as he reported his recent story about e-retailers' long-term survival and explore what may lie ahead for e-commerce versus brick-and-mortar retail.

In other news, this is the final week to participate in our Reader Survey. Please take a minute to fill it out here if you haven't already. We'd love to hear what you think.
