According to a New yStats.com Report 67% of All Repeat Buyers Are Multi-Channel Shoppers

Hamburg, Germany, June 22, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Multi-channel consumers are gaining significance as a target group
Multi-channel consumers account for 67 % of all repeat buyers and tend to have the highest spending and the most transactions per household. Consequently, many retailers try to include internet-based activities into their sales strategy, which in turn leads to a rethinking in the mail order business. At the same time, retail chains are claiming back market shares previously lost to online shops by integrating on- and offline activities. Nonetheless, the latest research data demonstrates that many companies have yet to profit from multi-channel marketing or have just started to realize its potential. The “Global Multi-Channel Trends 2010“ report by yStats.com shows the growing significance of the effective use of social media and networks in this context. Additionally, it recommends that offers for various distribution channels should be consistent, while also taking into account purchasing trends across different geo- and demographic groups. As a result, the yStats.com report closely examines both international trends as well as developments in the USA, the UK, in Germany and in Japan.
