As we spend more time at home, many of us are adopting pets for the joy, companionship and a surprising range of health benefits. In Australia, where our nonprofit customer PetRescue is located, there’s a shortage of pets to adopt.

When it comes to quality versus quantity, you’ll often hear people say, “It’s the quality that counts, not the quantity”. While that’s true in many situations, there are also cases where you want both quality and quantity. You may have thousands of images on your website and you want them all to look great. This is especially important if your website allows users to upload their own content, for example, to sell their own products or services. You don't want their poor quality images to reflect badly on your brand.
Founded in 2013, Bombas is a leading apparel brand whose website serves as a primary sales channel and a conduit for fulfilling its mission to help destitute, at-risk, and homeless people. With comfort as a key attribute for its products, Bombas is dedicated to donating them to those in need. For example, shortly after launching the company, Bombas’s founders learned that socks were the most popular item at homeless shelters and spearheaded the mantra of “one purchased = one donated,” donating a pair of socks for every pair sold. Also, Bombas introduced “the most comfortable T-shirt” with the same donation match last year. So far, the company has given away more than 40 million pairs of socks and T-shirts.

E-commerce is a dynamic business. Shoppers are constantly browsing sites for the best deals or for the latest of their favorite products, adding to wish lists, and exploring product recommendations from friends and influencers. On the other hand, online vendors are always on a tear to try to draw in shoppers and convert clicks to cash with various techniques, such as by reducing page-load time, posting compelling product images, and aggressively targeting ads.
