Irish Consumers Getting In Line To Go Online This Christmas - A leading Irish ecommerce firm has predicted that the number of consumers shopping online this Christmas could increase by as much as 50% in comparison to the same period last year. Magico.ie says that although traditional high-street retail activity is suffering a downturn, Internet sales in Ireland are likely to smash all previous records this year as more and more price-conscious and time-poor consumers do their festive shopping online. The company warned, however, that the Irish retail sector had not fully explored the potential of the online shopping market and was losing out on potential business to competitors throughout the world. It indicated that many Irish small and medium enterprises needed to adapt to the growing trend among consumers who were opting to order their

In metropolitan China, Netizens (whether they shop online or not) are already heavy social media technology users. To get Chinese online shopping holdouts to purchase products online, online retail companies should start to look into implementing social media platforms on their Web sites.

The tendency of small business to hold others responsible flies in the face of the fact that consumers associate bad experiences on a site directly with the merchant, regardless of fault. This reveals a worrying disconnect between the retailer's perceptions and their customers' expectations. Additional PayPoint.net research also shows that consumers are willing to vote with their feet: just 3 per cent of online shoppers would trust a small online business with their money, preferring to shop with larger online brands. Furthermore, 81 per cent of consumers are suspicious of the security of small, unknown companies demonstrating that small online retailers have more, not less to prove.

The eCommerce market in Poland is full of potential. It's growing faster than Western European markets and is overtaking Southern European countries such as Spain and Italy. Polish consumers are estimated to have spent more than €2 billion online in 2007, and this number is expected to grow quickly as Polish consumers become wealthier. Polish online consumers use the Internet to gather information about products and services but still head to a high-street store for the actual purchase. It's essential that e-retailers in Poland find ways to turn these "lookers" into "buyers." Retailers and manufacturers must recognize that Polish online shoppers are different from their Western European neighbors, and they must take these differences into account when positioning their brands in the Polish eCommerce market to win consumers over.

By year-end 2007, 21% of US online consumers had purchased from an online auction in the past 12 months, representing a hefty slice of the eCommerce pie. Young, affluent, and tech-savvy, online auction purchasers are an attractive segment of the Web buyer population. Despite ongoing fraud concerns, most online auction buyers report being satisfied with their most recent purchase and are likely to return for future purchases. This enthusiast crowd has reached a point of limited growth, though, as evidenced by eBay's slowing sales of merchandise in the US. Most eBusiness professionals at retail organizations will stay out of direct sales via eBay and capitalize on the audience by using eBay as a marketing platform.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The worldwide online video market is experiencing dramatic growth, reports In-Stat. Worldwide online video revenue is expected to eclipse US$4.5 billion by 2012, up from $1.2 billion in 2008, the high-tech market research firm says. Purchased/rented videos are expected to offer the most robust growth for online video in the near term, in large part due to an increase in subscription services such as Netflix, which charges a flat monthly fee to deliver an optimal combination of packaged goods and online content that can be viewed on home TV sets. Ad-supported professional video from major TV networks will become a strong revenue contributor by 2012.“What is now seen as a predominantly younger pastime will spread to encompass a wider group of people, in part due to the aging of current online video viewers, but also a
