The reason is that you really can get bargains, yes even for furniture. Pivate sales sites deal with fashion accessories, personal items, and travel but there are plenty of them offering deals on furniture and home furnishings as well. I wouldn't recommend using these sites to furnish entire homes, but you can often get really good deals on accessories such as lamps, mirrors, frames, etc. These membership sites are also good for buying accent furniture, and one of a kind items.

TechCrunch Etude de cas e-commerce : décryptage du modèle Amazon Franchement, j’adore Amazon. Je trouve le site exceptionnel quand je l’utilise en tant qu’acheteur et il me fascine lorsque je l’observe au niveau technique et marketing. Au-delà des recettes qui ont mené Amazon au succès, le modèle économique détient un secret étonnant que peu de personnes connaissent finalement.Les analyses sur Amazon pullulent et chaque professionnel du Web a toujours essayé un jour ou l’autre d’appliquer une fonctionnalité ou un attribut pêchés sur ce leader du e-commerce mondial.

Styku has since pivoted to focus its body-scanning efforts on the Kinect, and was recently named one of the first batch of startups in Microsoft’s Kinect Accelerator program. I called up Sareen to learn how Styku has progressed, and whether it still struggled with what Sareen’s father had told me was one of the most vexing problems in clothing: how to fit the many shapes and sizes of the breast. FAST COMPANY: Long time no chat. RAJ SAREEN: It’s been a while since you wrote about how my dad said no two boobs are alike. Catch us up on what Styku has been up to since we last spoke. "It’s going to end up being a very disruptive technology that changes the apparel industry, making it smarter and more efficient." In June 2011 we launched our application, without Kinect, on a site called Billy Blues. So you’re in Redmond now? We didn’t know that either. Exactly.
