Beck and fellow teacher Julia Goldberg, who serve as advisors to the Renaissance Program at the Milwaukee-area school, hoped to include USB flash drives among the school supplies. ?Flash drives would help our students bring work from school to home and back,? he noted. ?But we?d never included such a costly item among our supplies.?

?We?re very grateful to PLS for being such a good neighbor,? said associate principal Lew. ?Their generous contribution will help us ensure our students have the resources they need to succeed in the classroom.?

Dydacomp, a leading provider of business technology platforms for small and mid-sized eCommerce and multichannel merchants, today announced that it has partnered with Internet Retailer Magazine to issue a monthly index of industry trends for small to mid-sized retailers called the ?Dydacomp SMB Index.? The Dydacomp SMB Index is based on Dydacomp data compiled from more than 1.7 million orders per month at more than 1,500 e-commerce operators?accounting for more than $ 200 million in combined monthly retail sale.
Ecommerce continues to take an important role in the retail space and is expected to grow over 15 percent in 2012 according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. With more and more small to mid-sized businesses looking to expand online to attract new buyers, trends have emerged that provide insight into consumer spending and confidence.

The inaugural index, available online and in the print issue of Internet Retailer, uncovered interesting findings, including:
Consumers who shop online are placing fewer orders, but they are larger in size.
A slight decline in sales last month compared with March 2011 was identified, while year-to-date sales through March increased nearly four percent year over year.
Average order size grew in every category included in the Index except for one, Tobacco Products/Alcohol.
Books (which includes publications from religious organizations), Sporting Goods and Auto Parts showed strong gains, while Jewelry and Tools were weakest.
