  4. Recap Online retailers • RETAILERS • Petstore.com; Staples.com; Sendwine.com • Which of these were more concerned about valuation than a sustainable revenue Model? Why?

  5. Issues Facing Online Retailers • Impact of ‘bots’, • Impact of ‘information intermediaries’ (Egghead vs. CNET) • Become a vertical portal/infomediary? • How to create stickiness? • Distribution problems

  6. Issues Facing Online Retailers • GBF? • Network effects • None • Economies of scale • Some • CLV • Depends on product • Retention • Depends on Product • GIRF? • Do to captial market stuctures there was no reward for getting ot right first

  7. Online retailers • GBF because for online retailing it was a game of “survivor” • Fixed retail market in terms of value • For the most part the size of the retail market is determined by economic factors • GDP, CPI, Oil prices!, etc. • The online retailer has limited ability to add to market suze • You must cannibalize from brick and mortar or catalog • Online removes regional advantage (death of distance) • Competition increases • Marketplace fractionalizes into two possibilities • Commoditized products • Price is driver • Margins are tight – efficiency is the key • Boutique products • Uniqueness/quality/service is driver • Margins are high – marketing/branding is the key • There is NO middle ground!
