Multi-Channel Retailing

Report Code: EM-2352 Date: 2/2008 By: eMarketer

Today, online consumers think nothing of shopping across a retailer's stores, Web site and catalog. As a consequence, online product research is actually driving more land-store sales than online sales.

The Multi-Channel Retailing report analyzes the factors that are contributing to make online product research a vital driver of offline retail sales.

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.
