In “Reading List,” we ask ecommerce professionals to name some of their favorite books and blogs and tell us why they read them. For this installment, we corresponded with Ben Liau, global marketing manager of Tinyme, a retailer of children’s toys.

Liau has executed many ecommerce marketing campaigns, including search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, email marketing, and social media marketing. He has also managed Tinyme’s transition to a new ecommerce platform, launched new overseas sites, and rebranded Tinyme, which was previously known as “mooo.” You can follow him on Twitter, at @benliau.
