eggs is named E_Business of the Week in Internet Week! I can't find the article online at www.internetwk.com, but the hardcopy reads as follows:
-> E-Business: Egghead.com Inc.
-> E-vent: Launches online office products superstore to sell a variety of products, including office supplies, furniture, computer equipment and copiers.
->E-vangelist: Jeff Shjeahan, president and COO of Egghead.com, said the move into office products is a "natural extension of our business" and will allow the online retailer to expand into related product offerings to better meet customer needs and increase sales and margin growth without increasing overhead,
->Upshot: Most of Egghead.com's sales, in terms of revenue, come from its growing small office/home office and other small-business customers, and the new online superstore will allow it to expand sales to business customers. Fulfillment of all office product orders placed through Egghead.com will be provided by e-NITED Business Solutions, the e-commerce and fulfillment division of United Stationers, though its 39 distribution centers around the United States. |
