The two companies acquired, BevyUp and MessageYes, will expand Nordstrom’s foray into e-commerce with the goal of creating brand loyalty which pushes sales and profits to a higher, sustainable level.

Summing up, many traditional box retailers, including Nordstrom, are learning that the old models no longer work without an emphasis on new technologies.
