I think consumers are ordtak

I think consumers are more cautious, and I think the retailers have kept inventories well under control.

A lot of inventories had been committed to six months out. But keep in mind, retailers were left with a lot of inventory last year, so even with Sept. 11, chances are retailers were in a pretty good spot. Inventories are still lean going into the holiday season.

Retailers ordered extremely conservatively for the holiday season. The shelves aren't overly abundant with goods, and controlling inventories has finally made it into broad retailers, not just Wal-Mart. That's important because it means a lot of the early promotions we've seen have brought the consumers in, but has left less on the shelves with less selection.

This was not good news for the economy. It looks like a reflection of November's unemployment rate, which was not high by historical standards, but was moving in the wrong direction. Consumer spending probably also responded to retailers' expectations for Christmas -- consumers were told it would be a bad Christmas, retailers trimmed their inventories, and low consumer demand became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The jobs situation is still not resolved. Across several industries, inventories are rising, and we're seeing that consumers are trading down. That's an indicator that people are not beset with worries but they are turning cautious.

Retailers are getting smarter in the way they do business. They are reducing their inventories and keeping prices steady. Consumers are beginning to realize that they can't just wait for the sales like they used to.

This cautious attitude will have consumers shopping for bargains this season. Retailers will need to offer discounts and promotions to get shoppers into their stores.

A terrible problem for retailers is that most stores are evoking yawns from consumers, instead of excitement. Retailers just can't keep making the mistake of taking customers for granted by selling ho-hum kind of merchandise. Consumers are looking for unusual and exciting products and they're not finding them.

Additionally, this year's survey shows a clear need for retailers to help consumers navigate through the torrent of options available to them. Too many retailers are losing out on commerce opportunities as consumers leave sites empty-handed simply because they can't find merchandise that interests them.

If demand should continue to plummet, a lot of retailers will find themselves with too much inventory on hand despite their course of caution. A lot of retailers are cutting back on inventories, canceling orders, in virtually every single area of retail.

Luxury retailers spend a lot of money advertising in the off-line world, in print, because they are comfortable with that, they have more control over that situation. Those brands want to keep up a specific image, so they've been cautious about advertising online.

Our research shows that the U.S. retailers that are successfully selling abroad are using a number of techniques to attract international consumers. The results of the index clearly show that most internet retailers are not providing the best possible shopping experience to international consumers and may be missing an opportunity for growth.

I think a lot of retailers were playing it a bit more conservative. If you look at it three years ago, everyone was overflowing with inventories and then just stuck with it at the end. Retailers, including ourselves, have played it a bit more conservative with our orders.

While we were impressed with the long-term initiatives to drive top-line sales and control costs, we sensed a more conservative outlook from management. As such, we take a more cautious view to reflect the broad-based consumer slowdown that has impacted retailers as a whole,
