Description: Teens and the Internet are much on the minds of researchers these days. While Jakob Nielsen and the Nielsen Norman Group were researching how teens interact with web site designs (see p. 58), Harris Interactive was finding out how teens shop online. Their conclusion: Teens use the web for lots of research and some buying. They don`t buy more online for a few prime reasons, the main one being that Mom and Dad won`t let them. Second, they like paying shipping about as much as adults (not very much) and third, they don`t have a way to pay. But this is a generation that is growing up on the web and so their online shopping is sure to grow as they do. Here`s some of what Harris Interactive reports in its most recent Trends & Tudes report:

How the web can deliver what the wealthy want
Description: A huge disconnect exists between what luxury consumers want and what luxury marketers think consumers want, but the divide can be overcome by use of the web. The only trouble is--many luxury marketers don`t know it yet, says luxury marketing consulting company the Luxury Institute. "Wealthy consumers see the Internet as just another part of the relationship with a luxury provider and they expect it to be integrated as one of the channels they use," says Milton Pedraza, CEO. "But luxury marketers think the relationship has to be at the retail store. And the more high end they are, the less they think the Internet is critical to their business."
