When you get no response after 24 hours, typically the best stratagy
is to cancel this question, revise extensively and ask again offering
less money, but omit "actual data only" Do you want this ranking for
USA and Europe or the entire world. It might be helpful to suggest 40
or 50 catagories that might be in the top 50. It will be difficult as
the catagories will break down (I think) differently in different
countries, languages and cultures. You likely want to include both
high end and bargain, You need to tell us if arm bands, hats,
bandolos, shoes, socks, slaps, scarves, vails, belts, parkas and
loincoth are catagories, items or neither. I think you can see a
catagory is much favored over an item such as panties. I don't know a
good solution as some things are more logically items and others are
more logically part of a catagory. It will likely be helpful if you
suggest "50" is a guideline rather than a requirement. Perhaps you
have some suggestions on drawing the line between definately catalog
and might be considered a catalog. Do you want to exclude all internet
sales even if they are from catalog like listings? My guess is some
estimatig will be necessart by someone if not the researcher. Neil |
