 PROFILE
Provell (formerly DAMARK International) decided to not get so clubby. The company offered discount prices on computers, consumer electronics, sporting goods, and other items through catalogs. With catalog operations piling up losses, the company discontinued its regular, public catalog sales and is focusing on developing and managing its customer membership programs to provide more than 2.5 million members with discounts on entertainment, health and fitness services, hotels, restaurants, and shopping. DAMARK changed its name to Provell in 2001 to capitalize on its new business model; it has also sold off its ClickShip Direct subsidiary, an e-commerce fulfillment service. Founder Mark Cohn owns about 22% of Provell.
