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.
