Amazon Breaks Through

The dot com crash blew away hundreds of ill-thought-out business models. Those left alive have a revitalized chance for success this year. The growth ofrepparttar Internet didn't pause through this recession. More people are online, more people are using high-speed connectivity, and more people are buying online. Even Internet ad sales grew throughrepparttar 109014 downturn, which is quite remarkable considering that an offline ad depression has delivered a body blow to print and broadcast media companies.

So we begin 2002 with fewer Internet companies, more Internet buyers and a larger Internet advertising pool. The final piece ofrepparttar 109015 picture, venture capital, will probably come later inrepparttar 109016 year. This will create a favorable environment for new Net launches or expansions by existing Internet companies. Certainly a good dose of skepticism will remain fromrepparttar 109017 brutal dot com crash, but a new dose of caution will probably help enhancerepparttar 109018 positive environment for growth. The Internet boom of 1999 and 2000 toppled in part because a lack of caution pushed capital into incompetent hands.

The question remains: who will benefit from a favorable online business climate? Duringrepparttar 109019 holiday season of 2001,repparttar 109020 big beneficiaries were major brick retailers such as Sears, Columbia House, Barnes and Noble, Toys 'R' Us. In part, it was because these companies had capital. New Internet companies had little to work with in promoting their business, sincerepparttar 109021 venture community sat onrepparttar 109022 sidelines during all of 2001.

This could change in 2002. Ifrepparttar 109023 venture capitalists invest in new online ventures, brick companies could get a run for their money. Chances are, with caution in place, venture money will go highly experienced management teams, perhaps defectors from successful online teams now living within major brick retailers.
