Target recently announced two programs designed to bolster its e-commerce power and boost competition with some of its main rivals.

Late last week, the chain launched six apparel and home furnishings brands exclusively for Target.com. Earlier this month, the retail chain said it would make permanent its price-matching policy for items found at such retail sites as Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and Walmart.com.
