ELUXURYHOUSE INC Securities Registration: Small Business (SB-2) BUSINESS

Thu, 01 May 2008 06:33:23 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

While, as reported in an article entitled "Point, Click and Strut" in the December 15, 2005 edition of The New York Times, that, five years prior, the failure of online luxury shopping was so dramatic that it was easy to deny its potential, such article pointed out that a number of multi-brand luxury shopping sites survived, including sites that offer discounted designer merchandise such as Ashford and Yoox, and Net-a-Porter.com, all of which exist today. Such article cited a November 2005 research report by Internet research company Forrester, to the effect that people have overcome their initial skepticism about selling luxury goods online, and that in Europe alone, the retail climate was changing so rapidly that the percentage of online consumers for apparel and accessories had increased from 5 percent to 16 percent in the 18 months prior to such report to 40 million Europeans, with the number anticipated to increase to 73 million people in 2009 in Europe alone.

» Zappos.com Case Study: Why shoes are great for e-commerce … yes, really - Startup Review Blog

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 08:34:03 -0000

When Nick founded Zappos.com he was turned away by almost all VCs because no one believed that shoes were a good product to sell online. Afterall, who would buy shoes without being able to try them on first?

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The average order on Zappos.com is ~$100 and gross margins on shoes are ~50%

The average order on Zappos.com is ~$100 and gross margins on shoes are ~50%.

Zappos.com has 17,000 affiliates driving traffic and shoe sales to their site.

Approximately 50% of Zappos.com orders are from existing customers, and an additional 20% are from new customers that were referred by existing customers.

Instead, we semi-randomly upgrade orders for most of our repeat customers. There are a few that get next day air, and many get 2nd day air. Our long term goal is to get to next day air for everyone, but we’re not quite there yet.

The company went through the extra expense of warehousing all their shoes themselves to better control the fulfillment process, thereby improving customer service.

If Zappos has run out of inventory on a particular shoe, the customer service rep is encouraged to provide the customer with links to purchase the shoe from other online retailers.

Zappos.com did a fair amount of offline advertising in its early days to help establish its brand with shoe manufacturers.
