5 of the Best Big Online Retail Launches of 2011

While a few of the big online commerce launches this year filled voids we hadn’t realized needed filling — at least until these new sites came along — we can’t even believe it took some other retailers this long to hit the web!  Let’s take a look at five big names who made notable e-commerce debuts this year:

1.  Zara (finally!) introduced online commerce: The affordable global fashion chain based in Spain launched e-commerce for its American fans in September.  Okay, now we’re just waiting for H&M to finally become available online…
2.  Amazon debuted flash sale site MyHabit:  The e-commerce behemoth came out with its own flash sale site, MyHabit, in May.  The stripped-down, stylish, and well-priced site could give Gilt Groupe a run for its money.
