Picture this: E-retailers aim to zoom, spin and model their way to higher sales Description: In todays competitive retail market, these enhanced visualization tech-nologies appear to be proliferating. Online retailers that sell highly differentiated products are desperately trying to find ways to display the properties of those products on the Internet, says Ken Cassar, senior retail analyst with Jupiter Communications. While the purchase of replacement or commodity product has become a no-brainer on the Web, consumers remain less willing to buy online what they cant see or feel first. In fact, 84% of consumers in a Jupiter survey last year said that the need to see, touch or try on certain products would ultimately be a barrier to purchasing a wider range of products online.

Pile Up Description: By limiting the number of SKUs, according to the Forrester survey, merchants and manufacturers selling online were able to fill orders at an average rate of about 400 per day. But most reported problems managing returns. Among the issues for many dot-coms and even brick-and-mortar merchants with electronic storefronts: a lack of warehouse space, a dearth of systems for sorting and disposing of returned merchandise, and pricing structures inadequate to cover the cost of handling returns. It just hasnt been a priority, says Dale Rogers, director of the Reverse Logistics Executive Council, a professional and research organization based at the University of Nevada business school in Reno. Returns are important, but youve got to get product out the door first.
