WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT QUICKDOG

"Although no software can
duplicate a human personal shopper, QuickDog has gone a long way toward
cloning the human personal shopper into a digital experience".
"I wouldn’t want them to sell it (QuickDog technology)
to my competitors." Arthur Andersen’s Joe O’Leary as quoted in Cheryl
Rosen’s Information Week article “Lands’ End Gets Into Software
Biz”, January 15, 2001

"We chose Quickdog as a
partner for...their understanding of retail merchandising strategies,
technical development skills and strong management team. QuickDog's
compelling vision will take personalization on the Web to a whole new
level. We are confident that this approach represents the future of
e-commerce by offering online consumers true one-to-one sales assistance
and e-tailers an efficient way to merchandise".

"The latest release of Personal Shopper…[with] the addition of the
"Show Me More" module that lets online shoppers see more items
of the type they say they like is a significant improvement. I think it
will have a lot of value…" John Hogan – techtarget.com

"QuickDog, for instance, has teamed with Lands’ End to provide the
back-end scoring algorithms for Lands’ End Personal Shopper application,
which the Dodgeville, Wis.-based retailer launched last November. Unlike
the previous generation of personalization applications that generated
customer profiles for use only at the retailer’s web site, the new generation
creates a 360-degree profile using data gathered from each online and
off-line interaction with the customer. The information is stored in a
central database and sales agents working in any channel can access and
update the data." Peter Lucas – Internet Retailer
 January 15, 2001
"Just what makes (this) software so unique? ...The Lands' End-QuickDog
solution mimics the methodology of human personal shoppers,... (it) asks
customers a few quick questions about what they're seeking, their size,
color and fabric preference, and body type. The site then shows them several
outfits based on the answers. It uses historical purchasing data to provide
customers with appropriate ideas each time they return to the site." Cheryl Rosen – Information Week

October 19, 2000
"This is very different from other models based on historical purchases,
which might not have relevance for the user if ordered as a gift, for
example. Taken forward, one can imagine the personalization possibilities."
Margot Amberg – Internet Stock News

October 17, 2000
"This relatively
simple concept has vast potential for merchants. It can improve conversion
rates, as it shows relevant items to a consumer. It's also a useful tool
for up-sell and cross-sell opportunities. Its usefulness will evolve enabling
the e-tailer to e-mail relevant new and sales items, and make gift giving
infinitely easier." Gomez Wire
