A new era for retail in Australia?

October 19, 2011
Matt Paish

A research report published this week by PayPal, Forrester Research, Nielsen and the Australian Centre for Retail Studies has claimed that retail in Australia is undergoing “monumental change”.

PayPal’s report, titled “Secure Insight: Changing the Way we Pay”, said online shopping will grow by 12.2 per cent throughout 2012 in Australia. The report forecasts Australians will spend A$37.7 Billion shopping online by 2013, an increase of over a billion dollars since October 2010.

The report also said that despite a strong Australian dollar, domestic retail has continued to account for three quarters (73 per cent) of online consumption in Australia.

PayPal Australia’s Managing Director, Frerk-Malte Feller said, “Consumers are connecting through local, digital, social and mobile channels that add relevance and convenience to their lives. These emerging channels bring huge opportunities for local Australian merchants to compete in the online market and increase engagement with their customers.”

Growing smartphone popularity is changing Australia’s retail environment

The report said that an increase in the number of people using smartphones is disrupting both the traditional and online retail environments.

Mr Feller said, “Smartphones are accelerating the path to purchase by becoming a virtual store in our pockets, enabling consumers and merchants to connect in new ways. In the last year we have seen a wealth of new business models emerge, that are re-defining the point of purchase. For example, QR codes allow traditional media to become a virtual storefront, social media and group buying allow merchants to interact with consumers in new ways and mobile applications are personalising consumers shopping experiences.”

Australian Food News previously reported on the impact of smartphones on online retail in Australia.

Why the role of a “Digital Strategist” needs to evolve / Constant Beta

Why the role of a “Digital Strategist” needs to evolve / Constant Beta: "It’s been about six months since I joined JWT. And what a ride it has been. I feel like I’ve grown ten-fold and the learning’s continue. I’m reminded of how I felt when I first left India to come to USA for undergraduate studies. For someone that loves learning, JWT, like college, hasn’t disappointed. I will write a series of posts about key lessons I’ve learned but today, I want to explore some ideas I’ve begun to noodle with regarding the role of “digital strategists” in larger agencies. My title confounds me. It didn’t until I began to view it in the context of working in a global communications and marketing agency. I think now I have a more objective view of both the strengths and the weaknesses of this role. Some of this will be very common-sensical to you and I think it is, but I felt the need to articulate it so I can understand it better."

How well a company manages such events not only prevents against unwarranted damage to its reputation, but also adds value in its own right. A company that handles itself online says much about its ability to execute in this modern age and helps define how a company is perceived."

It’s likely to become more of an issue here with the National Broadband Network. ITWire reports that the Department of Broadband Communications and the Digital Economy is looking at ways to encourage Australian businesses and government agencies to encourage more people to telecommute. That might be like turning around a battleship. As reported here, a survey by Macquarie Telecom has found that only 20 per cent of businesses said they saw the ability to offer a different employment model as a major potential benefit of the high-speed network.

Australian Small Business Shys Away From Online Marketing | NISER: "A solid majority of Australia’s SMEs don’t use email, a web site or any other aspect of the internet, a recent research report has found…staggering!!
Talk about missed opportunities — the report also shows that the average Australian now spends nearly 18 hours a week online. This report studied the habits of an estimated 1.6 million small and medium-sized businesses with 20 less employees.
40% of SMEs shun the internet in all shapes and forms. This is concrete proof that business owners are missing out on the online marketing opportunities.
Small-to-medium sized businesses make up 80% of Australia’s businesses. They’re a group with limited resources for marketing, spending an average of $5,813 on marketing in 2009, the report said.
• Only 34% of those surveyed have a stand-alone website.
• 26% have progressed into online marketing, with a website and movement toward e-commerce and search marketing.
• These businesses spent 37% of the their marketing budget on online tools such as video and Pay Per Click advertising (Google AdWords), with most planning to increase their online marketing this year.
• Businesses that market online are far more likely to track their ROI.
