Best E-Tailers? It's a Mystery
---- E-mail Marketing
A $4.8bil Industry By 2004 A growing realization that e-mail is an effective
way for e-commerce outfits to hold on to customer and find new ones will balloon
the e-mail marketing industry to $4.8 billion by 2004, according to a new study
by Forrester Research Inc.
E-Commerce
Marketing Needs Specificity Businesses hoping to snare big bucks in e-commerce
must realize that consumer shopping habits for basic products have evolved to
a level that requires more specific, fine-tuned marketing strategies to get and
keep customers, an ActivMediaResearch study has found.
Spam
Strikes Back Do marketers have the right to send you spam? One Washington
state judge has effectively said yes -- and has sparked an instant debate about
the constitutionality of laws that limit the use of spam.
Marketers
Try Infecting the Internet Last December, a customer browsing the virtual
racks of the on-line beauty retailer Eve.com unearthed an unpublicized makeup
brush sale. The customer posted a link to the site in an on-line discussion group.
People who followed the link from the discussion site Deja.com bought more than
3,000 brush sets over a five-day period, the company said.
BlueLight.com
Signs on 1 million Customers In just six weeks, Kmart has signed up 1
million customers to its free Internet service, making it the fastest-growing
Internet service provider on the market.
CompUSA
Closes Cozone.com Site folds due to slow sales; retailer hopes to bank
on name recognition with CompUSA.com.
Hooked
on Net Shopping A new study predicts a growing appetite for on-line purchases,
and urges companies to do more than satisfy customers.
Shopping
for Big Brother Ever hanker to buy Puck's bike or Ruthie's tank top? A
German version of The Real World will let viewers go to the Web site tie-in --
and order the clothes, furniture, and products they see on the TV show.
Best
E-Tailers? It's a Mystery Because customer satisfaction is becoming one
of the key ingredients to the success of an on-line business, more and more companies
are relying on an old trick: mystery shoppers.
