According to WWD, the Bloomingdale's By Mail catalogue will be discontinued early next year, and the chain will accelerate enhancements to its Web site. Some jobs will be cut due to the change, but many will remain to continue work on the Web site. Michael Gould, chairman and CEO, explained, "Bloomingdale's is focused on growing its online business, increasing profitability and reflecting a seamless brand and merchandise selection, whether it be in-store or online." And in a brilliant spin move, he also raised the point that dropping the catalogue supports sustainability initiatives. Shop online, save a tree! Visit the store online at Bloomingdales.com.
