Recently, for example, I've been hunting English merchants who can offer me affiliated RSS feeds for used and new cars. I have also been hunting merchants capable of offering me regularly updated RSS feeds for package holidays, jobs and real estate. Cars, holidays, jobs and houses are just the sort of products that would sell well in my shop, yet there are big gaps in the market there right now.
To conclude, Napoleon was right: we English are a nation of shopkeepers. Many, like me, love our work. To continue the tradition, what this particular English shopkeeper needs is two things. Additional, big merchants offering affiliated RSS feeds with broad appeal and smaller merchants offering narrower, deeper feeds that cater for niche interests.
