I am doing some research on the subject of internet sales. What is the current status on the relationship between the bigger 3 companies (L,S,M) and the internet discount dealers?
What is the official reaction on this subject?
1 Sales people know that their account sells on internet but afraid to do something because they will loose comithions.
2 District manager is afraid of the same thing.
3 Private stores complain and complain that internet sells curent merchandise with a $40 mark up.
4 Private stores complain and complain that internet/storefront optical stores sell curent merchandise with a $40 mark up in regular retail enviroment
5 The big companies are afraid to loose 30-40% of their bussiness that goes to internet sales to each other.
Please help me understand this. And do not tell me that there is no one who discounts exclusive lines way below the MSRP and has current acounts.
Thanks in advance!
