	Here a Bot, There a Bot Description: Whats changed since the first price bots warmed retailers up to comparison shopping services? For one thing, merchants have learned there are plenty of shoppers who dont buy on price alone. In fact, among users of DealPilot.com, a bot specializing in books, CDs and DVDs, the purely price-driven represent less than half the services users, says Matthias Epp, vice president of marketing. There are people who always go with whats cheapest, just like in the brick and mortar world, he adds. But there are companies that dont want to compete on price exclusivelythey want to compete on service, quick turnaround or superior order processing.
	Blue Streak Description: That segment reaches deep into the customer base of the discount chains. As traditional brick and mortar retailers, they see the growth of the Internet, and they dont want to lose their core consumers, says one insider.

	Marketing Out-of-the-Box packs merchandising know-how with high-touch reliability Description: The past holiday season, like the one before it, offered stark lessons in e-retailing fulfillment. Consumers gave their lowest marks to on-time deliveries and customer service during the Christmas season, according to Internet rating firm BizRate. Merchants handled nearly 34 million orders between Nov. 26 and Dec. 25, but only 74% were delivered on time, down slightly from the previous year. Companies must wake up is the plain admonition of a report on logistics published last August by Forrester Research. The firm foresees a fundamental shift in fulfillment as consumers and businesses send the number of online orders soaring to 2.1 billion by 2003. As small parcel deliveries expand, Forrester says the number and breadth of SKUs will explode, and customers will continue to raise their expectations.

	It`s survival of the fastest. As broadband grows, so will pressure to add multimedia apps Description: Even with todays predominately slower connection speeds, features boosted by broadband are in hot demand for good reason. Clothier Lands End, for instance, more than doubled its Internet sales from $61 million to $138 million last year, after adding features that allow customers visiting its site to to fit clothing on virtual models, mix and match various styles and colors of Oxford cloth shirts, and shop the site by linking browsers with a friend or customer service representative. Lands End executives stop short of making a precise connection between these new features and the higher sales, yet they say some influence is certain. In e-mails praising the new features, customers have vowed to return to the site or make it it their exclusive online clothier.
