font-weight:normal'> face=Verdana>get this question a lot: how much
product should I place on my web site when I have thousands and
thousands of SKUs? I always tell them that depends on what you're
trying to accomplish. Do you want to test merchandise to see if
there's any interest in it (do people search for it, do they look at
the product on your site) or do you want to alert your customers that
you have the product and to come into the store to buy it? Or is
your top goal being an online retail store that sells all your
merchandise?

when a wife gave birth, she didn't receive a diamond-encrusted
"thank you" gem from her husband.

but she didn't get a costly "Atta girl!" prize.
