| Clothing, electronics succeed
Following the holiday bonanza, January can be a dead month for many retailers. Recent numbers from Nielsen revealed the ten companies that best survived (in terms of online conversion rates) the quiet time.
Other businesses should be able to learn something from the retailers' success, although, to be fair, there are definitely some seasonal patterns at work. L.L. Bean.com placed first, for example (with a conversion rate of 23.6 percent), and its cold-weather clothing surely drove a large part of its success.
Another clothing provider, J. Jill, nabbed the second spot, and then Proflowers came in third. People preparing for the spring planting season no doubt contributed to its 17.8 percent conversion rate. And let's not forget the flowers-and-jewelry-and-cards holiday that occurs in February. | ThisNext is a shopcasting network where you can recommend, share and discover great products.

Internet wordt beschouwd als een innovatie die maatschappelijke en economische processen rigoureus heeft veranderd. Zo biedt het internet bedrijven een nieuw informatie-, communicatie-, transactie- en, in het geval van digitale goederen, zelfs een distributiekanaal. Ook voor consumenten biedt het internet vele nieuwe mogelijkheden, waarvan telewerken, e-shoppen en e-learning de meest in het oog springende voorbeelden zijn. | Kaboodle -Shopping is more fun with friends
