While the next few weeks may not tell the definitive story of electronic shopping, evidence is emerging that early sales projections were rosier than what actually materialized.
Once the excitement and big sales of the holiday season are over, e-tailers will have to get down to the serious business of keeping the momentum going strong.
Of all the roadblocks that e-tailers encounter on their way to success in the new electronic frontier, shopping bots may become the most formidable.
As e-businesses contemplate their next move in the new electronic marketplace, many are finding great prospects in affiliation.
Yesterday, U.S. Undersecretary of Commerce David Aaron reported that ministers at the WTO meeting in Seattle, Washington had agreed to keep the Internet tax-free, probably well into next year.
If there is any one thing that many Internet businesses have not considered in their business plans, it could be described simply as "limitations."
In the mad scramble to be the flashiest, biggest, and most dynamic Web site in cyberspace, many retailers are losing sight of the most important prize - the bottom line.
The one development that may single-handedly change the landscape of electronic commerce is wireless communication. So why is it taking so long for us to have it in general use?
With upwards of $9 billion (US$) in sales expected over the Internet this holiday season, many businesses without Web sites are wondering if they've missed the boat.
It's official: E-tailers had a stellar holiday weekend, with brisk sales and vigorous activity fueled by savvy shoppers who have been doing their homework. The consumer is now well-equipped to sidestep inefficient or rigid e-tailers and carve out the best online deals with a maximum of convenience. ...
Many e-business owners are attempting to ride the limitless wave of the Internet overseas, a prospect that can be rife with dangerous twists and turns. Before a business can get up and running in another country, there are a number of issues that must be considered:
E-businesses, Internet Service Providers and technology firms are increasingly setting their collective sights on the fastest-growing minority population in the United States: Hispanics.
If the likes of Amazon and eBay are destined to forever dominate e-commerce, why are the biggest names in the business working so hard to boost fledgling startup companies?
Many American Internet users still perceive life with borders. However, if any one message is coming through loud and clear, it might be to "think bigger."
Given our litigious society, it was inevitable that the world of e-commerce would eventually find itself dragged into 'real world' courtrooms. And, lest anyone think that Microsoft is the only e-commerce-related company with legal woes, there is plenty of reason to believe that the floodgates are po...
E-commerce is clearly a media favorite at the moment, occupying significant space in most major newspapers and magazines, but most people are still shopping the old-fashioned way.
Despite the fact that media attention to the explosive growth of e-commerce has largely focused upon the new synergy between consumers and e-tailers, the real success stories may be in the business-to-business sector.
Everything that has to do with e-commerce seems to move at record speed, except for one thing: The decision whether to tax goods and services sold over the Internet.
"If you build it, they will come" may be true for baseball, but when it comes to e-commerce, it's how long it takes customers to get to what you build that really matters.
Lost amid the hoopla and hyperbole of the e-commerce explosion is the nagging reality that few e-businesspeople seem to know how and when they are going to make a profit.
