Federated to Spend $100 million on its E-Commerce!
Federated Department Stores has announced it will put an additional capital investment of approximately $100 million into its direct-to-consumer businesses, including Macys.com, Bloomingdales.com, Bloomingdale's By Mail, Macysweddingchannel.com and Bloomingdalesweddingchannel.com.
The $100 million addition for the 2007-2008 year will be incorporated into Federated's total capital spending plans, which include $1.2 billion for 2007, and $1.1 billion for 2008.
"Currently, we anticipate our direct-to-consumer businesses will grow to more than $1 billion in sales by 2008, from about $620 million in 2006," Federated chairman, president and chief executive officer Terry J. Lundgen said in a statement. "Supporting this pace of growth requires additional investment so we can scale up the volume of business while enhancing customer service, delivery efficiency and online site functionality.
If anyone doubted that the Internet is a major driving force in retail sales, this major investment by Federated should dispel it.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Write more, thats all I've to say. Literally, it appears as though you relied on the video to create your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog if you could be giving us some thing enlightening to read?

Have you ever thought about adding just a little bit far more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is critical and every thing. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe in the event you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a a lot more powerful blog in the event you let men and women SEE what youre talking about rather than just reading it.

Your blog is fine. I just desire to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its performing way an excessive amount of and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I feel is really critical. I dont know if you didnt believe that your words could hold everyones attention, but you had been wrong.
