The Breakfast of Champions-- Champion Online Shoppers, that is.
2008-08-22 17:33:00 It's never too early to start planning for holiday shopping -- especially if that planning means avoiding the blackfriday crowds that jam stores beginning at 3 a.m. and make the day after Thanksgiving such a bonanza for merchants and a headache for you.Instead of getting up in the middle of the night to go freeze your butt off in the cold outside a mall, only to get inside and have to wade through a crowd of rude angry people who wouldn't know "holiday spirit" if it shoved them out of the way to grab the last of the $19.99 diamond bracelets, why not take it easy this year and simply buy all that stuff online -- while still getting those great Black Friday deals?You can do that through iBlackFriday -- a website that posts the Black Friday deals, emails you the alerts about new deals, and lets you shop online using those deals; holiday shopping at a discount, minus the crowds and weather and lines and hassle.iBlackFriday even has the hottest stores that you'll definitely want to vi...
Luxury Car Shoppers On The Web
2008-07-22 22:31:00 Finding my last two cars on the internet, the post Online Shopping Continues to Grow – But Not For Luxury Cars from On Wheels in Heels came as a surprise, but I think the title was a little misleading. According to research from the Luxury Institute, two-thirds of all high-end shoppers turn to the web for research, but only one-fourth are comfortable buying a car online. With so many people utilizing the web for research, it’s only a matter of time until a higher percentage of cars become available for sale on the net. Once the cars are there, you’ll see more purchasing done on the web. Over time I think consumer behavior will flip to where shoppers visit dealerships for research/test drives and return home to negotiate the best deal and complete the purchase online. All the best, Bill

Luxury Shoppers On The Web
2008-07-21 16:52:00 MediaPost featured an article this morning Luxury Shoppers Migrate Toward The Web. According to the Luxury Institute, families with an income of $150,000 and higher are more likely to do research on the web with 64% visiting the company’s website for additional information. This information correlates with the stats we’re seeing from our Online Reader Survey and also relates to the navigation patterns of our readers visiting company’s websites from 3LUXE “Best Of” pages. The missing element from MediaPost’s article is the “why”? I believe the why is time, or lack there of. Consumers are constrained by the hours in a day, and the web provides a faster option for browsing, researching and shopping. As users better learn to cut through the clutter and find the useful information they desire, we’ll continue to see higher percentages of luxury shoppers migrate to the web (and 3LUXE) to fulfill their shopping needs. All the best,...

UK's shoppers are still spending but do it online
2008-06-04 07:21:00 UK consumers defied the credit crunch to spend a record amount online with retailers last year, Verdict Research has revealed. Bricks-and-clicks retailers delivered soaring online sales up by 35 per cent to £14.7bn in 2007 – a rate of growth almost 10 times higher than that of the total retail market. Verdict said the convenience of the internet continues to be the main driver of sales, but improved retail websites and increased broadband penetration also fuelled the boom. Verdict's senior retail analyst Malcolm Pinkerton said the fact that consumers have less disposable income to spend was boosting retail online sales, as consumers seek out bargains and use price-comparison websites. "Disposable incomes are being squeezed and what is drawing people online is the perception that the internet is cheaper and that they can shop around to get bargains and lower prices. Broadband is also cheaper and it has broadened the spectrum of people who can shop online." However, Mr Pinkerton s...

Microsoft Offers Rebates to Shoppers Using Its Search
2008-05-27 08:11:00 Slashdot It!With its share of the Internet search market in steady decline and its pursuit of an alliance with Yahoo in doubt, Microsoft is taking a new approach to jump-starting its search engine: offering rebates to people who use it to find and buy some products.Microsoft executives said the program, called Live Search cashback, is part of a plan to come up with new approaches to areas of the search business where they see opportunities to make inroads against Google, the market leader.The new program focuses on searches for products to be bought online, which Microsoft executives said account for roughly a third of search queries and a majority of search advertising revenue.“This is a very big part of the $20 billion search market,” said the chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates, at an advertising conference run by the company. “Make no mistake, we are about having the best search, having the best results.”Some innovations in the business model of search, like Live Search ca...

Shoppers Stop : Start Something New Campaign
2008-05-14 19:57:00 Fashion and lifestyle retail chain Shoppers Stop has undergone a rejuvenation: a new logo, a new base line, new uniforms for its staff, an anthem and a whole new philosophy.With the changed identity, Shoppers Stop has upgraded its positioning to a 'bridge to luxury' store a concept which I found hard to understand. They are probably trying to highlight the fact that luxury brands have a flaunt value that symbolizes ''having arrived" and they are the shop that provides a bridge to these brands.Shoppers Stop today have a lot of international premium brands like French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, Esprit, CK Jeans, Gas, Lancome, MAC, Chanel etc which are meant to highlight this positioning.The company says its new logo's look and appeal is a reflection of Shoppers Stop brand's character of being a trusted and inspiring guide' in the world of fashion, and a progressive and dynamic brand.What I like about this campaign is the new baseline of the brand, 'Start Something New' it ...

Finding Companies Looking for Mystery Shoppers Posted By : Ethan Hunter
2008-04-13 23:07:00 There are an unlimited amount of businesses which take part in mystery shopping. The reason they choose to take part is because they want to know what the customer thinks of their business and how their different stores are operated. The feedback they receive helps them to improve any aspects of their business which they feel are failing. Due to the amount of competition that is around, businesses are keener now than ever before to improve their service to keep customers coming back and to spread the word to friends and family. That is why mystery shopping is fast becoming big business. Credit scores hold a lot of importance today. Your credit score will affect you in many ways other than securing a loan.

Shoppers Online
2008-04-09 03:53:00 I've just added some links to Primitive Business Junction to some sites that can help you track the number of shoppers you have online. Many site builders offer a "shoppers online" feature, but they are not always accurate. On my sites, sometimes it will show over 200 shoppers online, and well, as much as I'd love for that to be true, there's just no way it is. The number can be affected by several factors, including AOL browsers (for some reason, they affect this count), spiders and bots crawling your site, and other things. So I went on the hunt for some way to track the number of shoppers online. I found two sites in particular that I've tried, and I've listed them on the Web Tools page on my site. You can find them here:Links to Sites Offering Shoppers Online CodesOnce you're on the sites just follow their prompts to generate the code you need. Then you just add it to your site and you will then be able to see the number of shoppers currently online on your website when yo...

Chicago Shoppers: Lower Sales Taxes In Indiana
2008-03-02 14:46:00 The Cook County Board called a political “time out” and stopped the clock at 5 minutes before midnight the other night so that they could pass a brand new sales tax for Chicago — 10.25 percent — that will take effect in November. The AP reports about Cook County’s taxes: Among the things Chicago wants to be known for, having the highest total sales taxes of any major U.S. city is probably not one of them. But that’s what it’s getting after the Cook County Board voted Saturday to double the county sales tax to 1.75 percent. When added to the city’s sales tax, the county’ increase has the cumulative effect of setting a 10.25 percent sales tax on goods bought in Chicago. Come on in to Indiana all ye weary shoppers from Chicago, Illinois. Our sales tax in Indiana is lower than your sales tax. And, northwest Indiana isn’t that far away — take an expressway or toll road and you’re here in about a 1/2 hour or so! Rep...

Car Shoppers Still Not Convinced With Diesel
2008-01-29 07:18:00 A study done by Kelley Blue Book?s marketing research team was recently concluded and the results showed something quite interesting. A small number of new vehicle shoppers have disclosed that they still are not convinced with diesel being a good source of fuel with only 6% believing in diesel. The study continued to disclose these facts: 40% of the respondents still go for hybrids 20% are for hydrogen fuel cells 17% would rather have flexible fuel systems Consumers interested in hybrid vehicles still continue to bloom and this simply means that the need for BMW parts made specifically for hybrids would also go higher. Also, consumers who took part of the KBB study said that they still look at diesel engines as the dirty and noisy ones. It looks like no matter how good the new diesel engines are marketed, it would take quite a while before shoppers get the idea that these engines are no longer like the old ones.
