Ashford and Amazon renew deal

Ashford.com, an online luxury retailer, and Amazon.com renewed their marketing aggrement for one year. Under the terms of the agreement, Ashford will pay Amazon.com cash for access to its more than 25 million customers. Ashford CEO Kenny Kurtzman calls his company's marketing efforts on Amazon in 2000 increasingly efficient, and says he expects more of the same in 2001.
