Fear and the economy
Description: Theres no doubt that the world-altering events of Sept. 11 and the follow-up response from the U.S. have changed the future of online shopping. The acts of Sept. 11 had their desired effect: They terrorized the U.S. population. Many retailers and retail consultants believe that consumers now will be more cautious about venturing to places where crowds congregate and about flying. The result: They will stay home more and turn to the Internet more to do their holiday shopping. Had we not had this tragedy, the Internet would have continued to experience solid, steady growth in market share, says Elissa Myers, president and CEO of the 26,000-member Electronic Retailing Association. But now growth will be accelerated.

Online retailers still want to know: Wheres wireless?
Description: A lot of angst has been spilled over the future of wireless e-commerce, or m-commerce (for mobile) as it is becoming known. But no matter how taken with the notion some tech pioneers are, wireless shopping is not something that is going to happen soon, says the latest research. EMarketer Inc. of New York came out this fall with its report, North American Wireless: Subscribers, Revenues and Services, which pulls together its own research as well as the research of others to give a comprehensive view of wireless activities today. Shopping isnt high on that list. A report from Forrester Research Inc. from last year measures how small the impact of wireless will be on online shopping. The majority of people are not prepared to shop retail using a PC, so why should we think theyll shop over a mobile phone or a wireless device, says Ben Macklin, eMarketer senior analyst who prepared the report. Retailers today should be thinking of mobile for messaging-to give consumers little alerts that there is a special on.
