Abstract: Any retailer who isn't using the online channel to promote offline sales - as well as online sales - is missing a huge opportunity.
In 2007, eMarketer estimated that store sales influenced by online research totaled $471 billion. Comparatively, retail e-commerce sales were $136 billion.
Another way to look at it is that for every $1 in online sales, the Internet influenced $3.45 of store sales.
From 2007 to 2012, Web-influenced store sales are forecast to grow at a 19% average annual rate, compared with a 12% rate for retail e-commerce.
Key questions the Multi-Channel Retailing report answers include:- How do consumers shop across retailers' stores, Web sites and catalogs?
- How do e-commerce sales compare with store sales that are influenced by online product research?
- What do consumers expect from multi-channel retailers?
- How effective are retailers in living up to these expectations?
The Multi-Channel Retailing report aggregates the latest data from marketing and communications researchers with eMarketer analysis to provide the information you need to make smart, accurate business decisions.
