Capella University

I have chosen Bass Pro Shop website as an e-business that is operating on the internet. Bass Pro Shop is the world 's most trusted sporting goods store online. It has an outstanding customer services. Based on 6460 reviews on eopinion.com, Bass Pro Shop has 5 stars overall rating on its customer services. Bass Pro Shops is known for a large selection of hunting, fishing, and other outdoor gear. And it became the world 's largest mail order sporting goods store. Bass Pro catches shoppers at home with its catalogs, online store, and TV and radio programs. Its first catalog mailed in 1974. I will review, and establish critique criteria of Bass pro Shop.

And because it is privately owned, the company doesn 't disclose sales figures, but per Forbes, last year has ranked Bass Pro at 138 out of the 441 largest private companies and estimated its annual revenue at $2.65 billion. (Forbes, 2010) In 1975, Bass Pro Shop started Business to Business sales. It offers a wholesale division, called American Rod & Gun. Independent retailers can carry Bass Pro Shops products and also receive special pricing. This gives them the right to use of the Bass Pro Shops name and logo. The company also offers affiliate programs to help generate sales for an individual’s business,

    Home Depot Research Paper

    The general idea was thought of in 1978 when Home Depot aligned to sell only BEHR paints and BEHR was to only sell their products through Home Depot. This allowed Home Depot to utilize BEHR as a private label brand without having to build/purchase the proper facilities to produce the paint. The end result allowed them to offer a private label brand (often referred to as a “store brand”) that was up to par, if not better then many national brands. They have this same exclusive sales agreement with many private merchandise producers such as; Martha Stewart Living, Hampton Bay ceiling fans, Chem-Dry cleaning chemicals and GAF Roofing. Not only did Home Depot pursue these companies to turn them into in-house brands, they also created three of their own private label brands that are shown around the store. These include Husky Tools, Workforce Tools & Accessories and Glacier Bay…
