Lessons for Catalogers & Online Retailers
Consider running flash sales as a way to
de-risk your business:
•Test multiple presentation variables in less disruptive
way than A/B testing
•Create a process for new products to earn their way
into your main product offering
•Maximize profitability by testing pricing in distinct
markets before setting nationally
