Five start-up lessons from Net-A-Porter’s Megan Quinn

Quinn is the co-founder of UK-based fashion website Net-A-Porter, which began back in 1999 when online retail was largely a foreign concept for consumers.

Net-A-Porter started off with a turnover of 18,000 pounds in its first month of sales and doubled turnover each year until it was sold in 2010 for 350 million pounds.

Some really good tips - worth a read imho.

Interesting that they used a hyphenated domain - Think of the possibilities they would have had back in 1999!

Just goes to show a multi million dollar business can be built on a hyphenated domain.
