memo
  • Fashion commerce seems considered to be one of few promising areas for EC sites. Amazon.com started TV commercial recently focusing on fashion items. Meanwhile, the largest fashion commerce site, ZOZOTOWN announced downward revision for FY2011 ending March 2012 for the first time since its IPO in 2007. It may be a good timing for startups to enter the market, if they can offer different value proposition than those big players because overall forecast seems good but big players are not necessarily doing very well.
