Behind the re-birth of Bloomingdales.com
Description: Back in the dot-com boom days, Federated Department Stores decided it would make a big splash in e-commerce. It bought Fingerhut in 1999 for $1.7 billion and planned to use Fingerhuts catalog and web knowledge to build a major web strategy that would include Macys, which already had a strong web site, and Bloomingdales. Three years later, Federated was unloading Fingerhut and Bloomingdales was the only $100 million catalog without an e-commerce web site, in the words of Charlie Silver, vice president of marketing for Bloomingdales Direct. But now Bloomingdales is back in the e-commerce game with a web site that generated $30 million in sales last year.
