The response to Microsoft's recently launched shopping service, MSN eShop, has been
phenomenal, as e-shoppers embrace the power of one complete online shopping solution. The
new service has already attracted over five times as many visitors to MSN eShop since the
site's launch on November 2nd. MSN eShop addresses a key unmet need of consumers: the
ability to easily find and buy exactly what they are looking for. More than 100 premier
merchants have joined MSN eShop's growing offering, making it more convenient for
consumers to find, compare, select, purchase and ship their gifts during the busiest shopping
season of the year -- all from one site.
"CyberShop.com is 100% committed to providing a unique and hassle-free shopping
experience this holiday season," said Jeff Tauber, CyberShop.com Chairman and CEO. "High
shipping costs are one of the main reasons that customers abandon their transaction. Free
shipping, particularly for consumer electronics, is a huge promotion for our customers."
electronics.Net offers a wide selection of brand name consumer electronics across a number of
product categories selling products from brands such as JVC, Sharp, Aiwa, Panasonic, Bose,
Zenith, RCA, Yamaha, Toshiba, Philips and General Electric. electronics.Net competes with
Amazon.com Electronics and Circuit City's online division, leveraging the electronic commerce
expertise of CyberShop.com along with its access to the largest selection of consumer
electronics and appliances on the Internet.
PR just hit the street. Let's see the effect. Guess I'll hold for one week now. Effect may be seen Wednesday. I missed the MSFT connection on their retail site. Good company. Maybe this "garbage stock" has a revival. Never thought much of briefing.com anyways.
