Online Shopping is one of the largest success areas of the Internet and I.T.
Beyond has a proven track record of creating online shops that generate real
sales, real turnover and true success.
We can add a shop to your existing site, or build you a specific shopping
site in any industry. Alternatively, if you are in the Australian
Travel/Automotive industry you may elect to render the ExplorOz shop on your
site and simply earn commissions on sales. [more info..]
I.T. Beyond can demonstrate, through the success of the ExplorOz Adventure
Shop, that online shopping can become a very real business without the need for
a physical shopfront. In fact, the ExplorOz
Shop, based on site traffic, is ranked as Australia's No. 1 online shopping
site in the "Books" category.
(Source: Hitwise Australia - March 2004).
"The market share of visits to shopping related websites has increased
by 24.9% since December 2002, with the sector now representing 4.8% of all web
traffic. Traffic to Australian shopping sites accounts for 10.07% of all
traffic. Auction sites dominate the sector in terms of both visits and pages,
followed by Rewards and Directories sites and then Department Stores. Other
retail sub-categories which have witnessed a large increase in market share
since December 2002 include Appliances & Electronics category, Automotive,
and the Books category. 50.7% of visitors to shopping sites are male, with
31.58% of all visitors belonging to the 25 - 34 age group."
(Source: Hitwise Australia Online Retail Report - Christmas 2003).
I.T. Beyond not only designed the ExplorOz shop, they also operate it (ie.,
process order payments, pack and process deliveries, handle stock purchasing and
item maintenance).
I.T. Beyond offer this service (including stock display and order processing)
to other website owners. You can elect to take on the existing full range of
stock as offered on ExplorOz, selected items, or add your own.
We have 2 clients who currently operate an abridged version of the ExplorOz
Shop - see:
The ExplorOz Shop integrates iMapPlot™ technology
(developed by I.T. Beyond) to provide Map Search and also Map Coverage
functionality, thus enhancing the user-friendliness of the online shopping
experience.
