Laut Internetretailer übernimmt Zappos die vergleichsweise junge Schuh und Taschenseite 6pm von eBags:
"Zappos.com has agreed to acquire footwear and accessories site 6pm.com from eBags.com, which had launched the site in November 2005. Terms of the acquisition, expected to close within three months, weren’t disclosed. The deal is the first acquisition for Zappos.com, No. 31 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide to Retail Web Sites and the largest Internet shoe retailer."
Über die Hintergründe schreibt Internetretailer:
"6pm.com has features that aren’t on Zappos which are attractive to certain customers, Hsieh says. 6pm.com has developed merchandising features including one that matches shoes with handbags, in an application that allows shoppers to search through the 6pm.com product inventory, rate and review the products they like, and view a list of personalized shoe and accessory matches based on trend, color, fabrication and brand.
The feature enables customers to look at different product combinations that are also ranked and reviewed by other site visitors."
