Multiple Choice

Scenario 15.2 Use the following to answer the questions. Lands' End offers clothing and accessories for all members of the typical household. For many years, the products were sold only through catalogs. Later, they were available through the company on its Internet website. In the past few years, Lands' End has partnered with Sears to offer selected Lands' End products inside of Sears retail stores. This move by Lands' End has been criticized by some marketers because it was thought that the Lands' End products were superior in quality to those that are available in Sears stores. Additionally, the products available in Sears stores include Craftsman tools, lawn care equipment, and household appliances, which are not Lands' End types of product lines.

• A) facilitate comparison shopping.
