Pages!

Merchants love more of everything. More e-mail campaigns each week. More paid search advertising. More catalog pages!

Usually, no!

But you can figure out what might be a better decision --- reducing pages or reducing circulation.

Hint --- I generally prefer smaller page counts and deeper circulation depth.
