Retailers Eye Online Shopping Sites Nasty Gal, Warby Parker

Retailers are trying to respond to the brave new world of online shopping, but not by trying to expand their own e-commerce presence. That's because, while they might be good at getting customers in their stores, they're not necessarily as good at getting them to click and buy. So retailers from Target to Nordstrom to TJ Maxx's parent company are seeking bargains on startup shopping websites. Men's personalized shopping website Trunk Club went to Nordstrom's while Target bought online beauty website DermStoreBeauty. Ripped-jeans maker Nasty Gal is one that could be on retailers' shopping lists as well as eyeglass maker Warby Parker.
