During our discussion this week, I was pleasantly surprised to see screen shots of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. corporate website. It brings me back to the golden age of the internet (circa 1999) when the company launched its first e-commerce website during a time when all the retailers were getting out of the 'bricks and mortar' and onto The Net!
I spent about a year working on launching and improving the functionality of the sites- facilitating the 'voice of the customer'. It was a crazy time.
Our sites were very successful. Our e-commerce team was the focus of a 2000 Harvard Business School case study. We won a Webbie in 2000. Hit first million in less than first 6 months of being online.
A fun time...a stressful time...the gold rush we have yet to see again...
