The Online Retail Industry

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."
