Market Analysis
During the second half of 1999, the company conducted market research in several countries. The project was coordinated from London. The research company MOA (Market Opinion Analysis) conducted the survey in Sweden. The analysis was based on a rather complex model of how clothes were chosen by the consumer and then bought or sold. MOA's analysts claimed that the site worked neither as a marketing tool nor as a channel for sales and distribution, and that the target audience was not ready to buy large quantities on the web, at least not in the short and medium term. The research company also shed light on other problems with the site, including logistics and payment systems.

Famous quotes containing the words market and/or analysis:
“... married women work and neglect their children because the duties of the homemaker become so depreciated that women feel compelled to take a job in order to hold the respect of the community. It is one thing if women work, as many of them must, to help support the family. It is quite another thing—it is destructive of woman’s freedom—if society forces her out of the home and into the labor market in order that she may respect herself and gain the respect of others.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
