TUPPERWARE.COM
Tupperware conducts its business through a single business segment, manufacturing and
marketing a broad line of high-quality consumer products for the home. The core of
Tupperware's product line consists of food storage containers that preserve freshness
through the well-known Tupperware seals. Tupperware also has an established line of
children's educational toys, serving products and gifts. The line of products has expanded
over the years into kitchen, home storage and organizing uses with products such as
Modular Mates* containers, Fridge Stackables* containers, One Touch* canisters, the Rock'N
Serve* line, Ultraplus* and OvenWorks* line, Expressions* line, Meals in Minutes* line,
Legacy* Serving line and TupperMagic* line, and many specialized containers. In recent
years, Tupperware has expanded its offerings in the food preparation and servicing areas
through the addition of a number of products, including double colanders, tumblers and
mugs, mixing and serving bowls, serving centers, microwaveable cooking and serving
products, and kitchen utensils. Tupperware continues
to introduce new designs and colors in its product lines, and to extend existing products
into new markets around the world. The development of new products varies in different
markets in order to address differences in cultures, lifestyles, tastes and needs of the
markets. New products introduced in 1999 included a wide range of products in all four
geographic areas, including many using Disney movie and cartoon characters under a
license. Some of the new products are the Fridgesmart* line, Royal Crest* line, Vitalic*
stainless steel cookware line, Santoku Knives, Healthy Baster, Air Filter, Sandwich
Keepers, and Cake Servers. New product development and introduction will continue to be an
important part of Tupperware's strategy. (Words followed by * are trademarks.) |

Overstock.com, the Internet leader for name-brands at clearance prices. At
Overstock.com we help you shop smarter, by offering top-quality name-brand merchandise at

At Overstock.com you'll find your favorite brands (including names like Sony, Toshiba,
Minolta, Kodak, Remington, Fila, Samsonite, Fieldcrest, Waterford, Madame Alexander, and
hundreds more). You'll also find great selection - over 37 product categories, and new
products added every day. Our products are top-quality, just like you'd expect to find in
the nation's finest department stores, and they're backed by the warranties you'd expect.
Clearance prices at 40 - 70%!
Manufacturers produce billions of dollars in excess inventory each year. Overstock.com has
built a relationship with select, leading manufacturers to purchase those extra products
at deep discounts and pass the savings on to you. Often, the price you pay is far below
the manufacturer's cost. Shopping at Overstock.com is like shopping at a clearance sale -
with discounts at 40-70% - every day of the week! (Some of our products have even bigger
discounts!)
Name-brand companies are forced to sell their excess
inventory for several reasons:
Products must be removed from shelves
to make room for newer models
- Overproduced products must be sold
- A change in financial circumstances or strategy may result
in canceled orders
- Manufacturers may be downsizing or moving facilities
- Companies may need to reduce inventories for accounting
reasons
Manufacturers are often forced to sell this first-quality
inventory quickly, and often below their cost. Moreover, they don't allow these products
to appear in retail stores because it may discourage customers from buying newer, more
expensive models. Instead, they turn to Overstock.com, the online specialists in buying
and selling name-brand excess inventory. The only catch is that most of our products come
in limited quantities - so if you see something you like, buy it now, because when they're
gone, they're gone. |
