Business Wire, Nov 29, 2004

NEW YORK -- "Online Retail Report" Offers Data, In-Depth Analysis, Trends and Best Practices for Professionals in the Online Retailing Industry

Dow Jones Newsletters today launched "Online Retail Report," the first weekly e-mail newsletter covering the online retail industry for senior-business, sales, marketing and operational executives seeking to manage their online retail strategy.

"Online Retail Report" covers the top stories on the industry trends, organizational strategies and operational best practices being developed by the market leaders in online retail. The newsletter details back-office operations and value-chain management, as well as customer- retention methods and the latest regulatory requirements for online retailing.

In addition, the newsletter tracks key statistics and data from sources such as Dow Jones & Company, ACNielsen and comScore. "Online Retail Report" is delivered to subscribers by e-mail every Friday by 8 a.m. ET.

"Online Retail Report" is a powerful resource for retailing executives as well.

"A weekly newsletter dedicated to news about online retailing and detailing the best practices being used in the industry--'Online Retail Report'--will be a great asset for its actionable information about the market, contained all in one place," said Shmuel Gniwisch, chief executive officer of jewelry retailer ICE.com.

Led by Ken Andersen, editorial director of Dow Jones Newsletters, "Online Retail Report" will be staffed by a team of dedicated reporters, with contributions from the staff at other Dow Jones publications including Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal, the world's leading business publication.

"Online Retail Report serves a significant, unmet need in the market with its strategic, retailer-focused coverage aimed at providing actionable information on boosting online sales and expanding merchants' market share," said Mr. Andersen. "Online retailers currently must wade through general-business publications for news about the industry. This newsletter will provide a single source for new product and service ideas, go-to-market strategies, and best practices for online operations."
