Check these out (INSIDE): HNV i thought this one would take off cbs.marketwatch.com Excite debuts catalog department Hanover Direct promoted; Vitamin E-commerce By @ugust Cole, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 5:26 PM ET Feb 1, 1999 Internet Daily Kitchen counters need no longer suffocate beneath a never-ending pile of catalogs. Excite's (XCIT) shopping channel debuted a new online department promoting Hanover Direct's (HNV) catalogs. Normally delivered through the mail, the Hanover titles include: The Company Store, International Male, Domestications and Tweeds, among others. Hanover Direct President and CEO Rakesh K. Kaul said of the agreement in a press release, "Our alliance with Excite allows us to expand our exposure of Hanover merchandise to the 17 million unique users Excite attracts every month, to offer Excite's superior online services and utilize Excite's cost-effective marketing media program." Excite is also exclusively promoting Hanover-affiliate Keystone Fulfillment as a third-party e-commerce partner on its site. If you're the sort of person who considers your time on the Internet as important to your well being as a daily vitamin, turn to Paracelsian.com. Paracelsian, Inc. (PRLN-BB) is developing an online store to sell its New Century Nutrition line of health products. The company also publishes a nutritional newsletter, found at NewCenturyNutrition.com. Adding to your dose of vitamin E-commerce, an association with BarnesandNoble.com (BKS) will permit users to purchase health-related books online. In a press release, Paracelsian President and CEO Bernie Landes explained, "We recognize that the Internet is an extraordinary new vehicle for the dissemination and sharing of information, as well as an emerging force for the sale of a worldwide variety of products, including dietary supplements." Will Go-Rachels.com keep the pace needed to come out a winner in the speedway world of e-commerce? Ask Eddie Cheever who drove a Rachel's Gourmet Potato Chips sponsored race car to win the 1998 Indy 500. Like race car drivers changing tires to match surface conditions, parent company of the confectioner and maker of potato chips has changed its name from RLD Enterprises (RLDS-BB) to Go-Rachels.com to reflect its e-commerce focus. Expecting a high-traffic site, James M. Garlie, chairman, president and CEO of Go-Rachels.com said in a press release, "Our new e-commerce Web site will also enable distributors to order truck loads of potato chips and other products through the World Wide Web." The brand is maximizing its affiliation with its racing team: the Go-Rachels.com team won the first Indy Racing League race of the season, the Disney 200. If you're bored with online auctions for baseballs and Beanie Babies, hoof it over to www.horsenet.com/mbti where the "e" in e-commerce stands for equine. The site is part of a stable of agricultural sites run by MBT International (MBTI-BB) which values total listings on the sites at over $87 million. In a press release, MBT International CEO Andy McKinnon said, "This first site focuses exclusively on horses and brings the 15,000 animals in AgriMall/HorseNet's SaleBarn into play." Using auction technology similar to eBay (EBAY) and uBid (UBID), MBTI expects a fee of up to 15 percent for each transaction. Whether you've got a few yuan or a few dollars burning a hole in your little red pocket book, you can spend them both online. With an e-commerce site expected to debut in March, Tianrong Building Material Holdings (TNRG-BB) has taken a great leap forward with a virtual shopping mall offering goods from its shopping center located in China's Szechuan province. James Tilton, TNRG president, said in a press release, "The Internet shopping mall will allow shoppers in the United Sates, China and around the world the opportunity to do something that was inconceivable before the Internet age." The site will be published in both English and Chinese. When car buyers feel like they've lost control of the wheel, they can now pull onto the information superhighway and visit www.loandata.com, set to debut in early February. Loandata's Spot Finance Online is a Web-based auto financing service that permits a customer to buy and finance a car through bank-approved loans entirely online. Toby Riley, president and CEO of Loandata, said, "By providing immediate financing to consumers, we are making e-commerce a reality for the automotive industry." See the press release. KeyBank USA (KEY) is a "demonstration partner" for the site's debut at the National Automobile Dealer's Association convention Feb. 6 - 9. However, Loandata wouldn't disclose further information about their relationship with KeyBank USA. Loandata is majority-owned by Oracle Corp. (ORCL) Lamarck's theory of evolution has resurfaced with Daly & Wolcott's name change to daly.commerce. The Providence, R.I.-based e-commerce software developer changed its name to better represent the company's focus on Internet-based commerce. John Cannington, president of daly.commerce, said of the augmented appellation, "The repositioning of our identity is symbolic of the rapid evolution we are living as a company to better respond to the revolutionary changes underway in our customers' environments."
