Internet Retailing in Australia
Report description
The poor retail performance in 2011 forced retailers to look again at their business model and to assess opportunities in online retailing. In an environment where consumer confidence is weak, a new shopper has emerged, one who prioritises value over other considerations. This has led consumers to go online to search and purchase products at the best offer. The strength of the Australian dollar has further stimulated growth in online shopping through offshore online sites.
