- Growth in online is relentless as we all knowOnline is not everything through. Offline market is still MUCH bigger. n US offline electronics market is 5x the size of offline.So multi channel strategy MUST be the right approach. Then you have the best of both worlds. Right?BUT is this right? Offline much of the cost base if fixed, and rises pretty much year on year. If sales are not rising profits will continue to decline, year on yearTipping points – there will be a tipping point where the offline model is no longer viable – happened in low margin sectors – music / electronics / video rental. Is it not only a matter of time for it to happen in all sectorsDoes multi channel help? Jessops had £300m of offline sales and 40% of its business was online – this didn’t stop it going bustMulti channel retailing is just a stay of execution – inevitable will still happenTipping point is reached – nirvana for online retailers as they will have the market place all to themselves!
