RE: FLASH: Barneys.com

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Not knocking anyone's opinions, cuz that's all that they are, but if they

aren't trying to sell a $300 sweater then why all the merchandise on the

site? Why the option to see what is on each level of the stores?


Just a ? =0)

I think were missing the point here.  This site is branding more than

anything else, If you want an easy shopping experience go to gap.com, if You

want to be apart of something more sophisticated, and special, enjoy

wandering around barneys.com, I found the site very sticky, granted I was

not looking to purchase anything, just look around.  Like it says at the top

of the page, "immerse youself in our world"  That's the point of the site,

not to sell a $300 sweater. And I think it succeeds.
