E-Commerce: The End Of Fixed Prices
Dislike a price
that won't budge? Not to worry -- the Internet has given rise to a bevy of new
pricing schemes that give consumers more power than ever. Increasingly
Slow Internet Will Hurt E-Commerce
According to a study by Northeast
Consulting Resources, Inc., e-commerce will be substantially hindered by the fact
that the Internet remains slow and will probably get slower over the next few
years. The
Internet Economy: Plans, Not Products
The desire to cash out big
is not a new motivating force in the technology industry. But what is striking
about today's Internet economy is how much of that money lust is focused on selling
business plans for their own sake, rather than planning viable businesses. Finding
the Best E-Deal
Here's a new wrinkle in comparison-shopping agents:
Click on a product and a little gizmo crawls all over the Web, finding the best
price. E-tailers
focus on kids with cash
The quandary is how to win over a wired
generation that doesn't use credit cards -- at least just yet. Report:
E-Commerce Saturation Will Create Super-Marketers
According to a
new report by Forrester Research, Inc., the eventual saturation of the e-commerce
marketplace will be responsible for creating a new breed of super e-marketers
known as "post-Web retailers." The
Net Spurs More Spending
A new survey of 1,019 Internet shoppers in
the U.S. shows that in certain categories, the Net spurs additional spending by
consumers. The survey also shows that low prices aren't the primary driver of
online demand. Shoppers
increase online holiday spending
A survey done for Hewlett-Packard's
Internet retail site found that almost two-thirds of Web shoppers will spend as
much as 25 percent of their holiday gift budget online this year. From
Shelf to Cyberspace
Dr. Urban is applying his forecasting models
to the Internet, where the balance of power has shifted to consumers. Web
shopping shifts into reverse
Reverse shopping: The latest Web trend
is for you to name your product and price -- then see if a site can match it.
