Subject: Leading retail websites in the CZECH REPUBLIC

1. I need a list of at least five leading non-food retail websites in the 
CZECH REPUBLIC. By "leading" I mean "leading". There is no strict criteria 
since revenues etc are often not known, so use common sense. It's often 
obvious from the site whether they are a contender or not. They must be 
B2C sites (so not Ebay, not clasifieds, not shopping comparison sites, 
although the latter can lead you to appropriate sites). They must 
TRANSACT ONLINE (ie not a site that shows products but doesnt let you 
buy). The top sites may be foreign (Amazon is the best example) but I 
dont just want a list of US sites. 

- URLs
- Comments. A one or two sentence salient summary of relevant points 
about the retailer (more than the site). For example "El Corte Ingles 
is Spain's top retailer both online and offline. The department store 
was an early mover online and has never relinquished its number one 
slot". Or "Amazon.com does not have a specific Spanish site but 
attracts 150,000 Spanish visitors a month to the US site". This is also 
a good place to say why this is a leading site and to highlight online revenues 
and/or number of online customers for the retailer.

2. I also need a list of the five leading FOOD retail websites.

- URLs
- Comments, as above.

If as you are searching, you come across any additional data on the 
monetary size of online shopping in the country, online population, etc 
etc, please post as additional URLs with no need for explanation. If 
you come across any other retail sites not worth commenting on, please 
paste the URL in with no need for explanation.

Thank you

Hi, I'm new here and don't understand at the moment, why I can only
add comment and not an answer. I had a long exposure in Czech
e-commerc, and still bein aware of all the main players, I feel I
could help you easily with all the data you need.

It's great you can help, if you have any info or sources I can look at
also for other Central and Eastern European countries please do let me
know.

Thanks,

webuserid

btw. there is a document with some relevant stores, though it might be
too much for you, and not all of them are top in terms of revenue
http://www.apek.cz/apek/apek.nsf/ed/Certifikanti?OpenDocument

also, there was a study by Deloitte & Touche, few years ago, 2000?,
freely available, maybe even in english, from their website (not sure
if still available) which had some data. though it was not good study
in my opinion, there was still some useful data and a list of few
relevant companies

Hi, the list is very interesting, although I am also trying to get a
feeling for which site is most visited and where people tend to go to.
It would be great if you could some how rank them so that I can check
them. Also I am trying to identify websites that sell grocery online.

Thnaks,

The previous comment was only additional one to a more extensive one -
Google unfortunately deleted it, because it contained my email
address. So here I rewrite it again shortly. Since it is for free I
can't spend hours on extensive research, but here is some short info
you might find useful. Of course it depends what for are you looking
for such a data, if you wanna sell thru them, buy them, advertise
there - probably different list will be for different purpose. Not of
them are probably purely internet players. etc.etc. hopefully you
understand what I am trying to say. Also, where most people go, and
where they spend most bucks, might be quite different list each time.


So here is a general list out of my memory.

Vltava.cz -books
Internetshops.cz - conglomerate of specialized stores including
Vltava.cz

general stores:shopcenter.cz, korunka.cz, patro.cz, kvanto.cz
bile-zbozi.cz - "white goods", ie. refrigerators etc.

Groceries? I think only multimarket.cz is worth mentioning. It is
generally very nich market with probably some other little players,
maybe nakupdodomu.cz

There was a study conducted in 2000? last time by deloitte touche, it
had some useful data, probably might be still downloadable somewhere.
Though, lots of data were bad, like they said fractal.cz is the
largest ecommerce player here, selling airline tickets - insiders know
numbers are largely understated etc...
Simply the study was not exactly objective....

And here is a link to a "toplist" site with ranking according to
visitors per day, of course not comprehensive, but might give further
clue...
http://www.toplist.cz/cgi-bin/toplist.asp?kat=27

Again what I said above, by making such a list, the most important is
to know what for it will be used...

Greetings, Tomas

this is very good information and especially the list with the
visitors. Btw, this is not for free. As you can see I offered $30 for
a good answer.

Thanks,
