SHOP.COM Marketplace Provides Most Comprehensive Selection
MONTEREY, Calif., October 26, 2004 — SHOP.COM, an online marketplace of
fixed-price, branded products, today announced that 64 new merchants joined
SHOP.COM in the third quarter of 2004. Focused on making life easier for
consumers, SHOP.COM organizes hundreds of cataloger, retailer and e-tailer
brands, allowing customers to search, find and buy products from hundreds of
stores in a single location. Some of the new merchants joining SHOP.COM
include Beautiful Cookies, Birkenstock Central, Executive Sports, Geddes
Group, Jewelry Network, Things Remembered, Tool King, and United Diamonds.
"Our cost-per-order (CPO) business model makes SHOP.COM the most
merchant-friendly marketing partnership around," said Bruce Sellers,
president of SHOP.COM. "We also treat the merchants’ brands with the
respect they deserve. Consequently, we’re attracting more and more
merchants each month, much to the delight of our millions of shoppers."
SHOP.COM enables shoppers to search, find and buy from among multiple
merchants yet only have to manage one account. By having hundreds of
trusted brands organized in one location, consumers no longer have to
maintain multiple log-ins and passwords. They have easy access to the
world’s best products in a safe and secure shopping environment that they
manage. Unlike other online merchant aggregators, SHOP.COM gives full
presence to the merchant’s own brand during the buying process and allows
the merchants to bill the customers directly as well as manage the ongoing
relationships for insured loyalty.
