Will the web kill the High Street? 9:00pm on 15 Dec 2008 I have to agree as much as i love the internet and the transparency it has brought to online retailing it will never take over the high street, i believe the two will learn to leave with each other giving a true multi-channel shopping experience for customers where you can purchase a product online but return it in store or find a product on the interent, either go in store to pick it up or reserve and pick up in store. Such mechanisms are what some of the larger retailers are putting in place to further provide channels where you can communicate and sell with your customers.

But the one thing that i particularly like the internet for is the ability to find prices and deals, wheather in promotion / discount codes or online exclusive offers. Such offers and the ability to provide such offers to a mass audience in a short turn around time is somethign that a high street store might find had to implement, more importantly in the current climate is what is helping some online retailers be better suited to take another large chunk of this christmas's share of sales. A suppose this would be to no supprise that alot of websites such http://www.savvydealsonline.co.uk are promoting offers and money off tips for online shoppers.

My moto will always be I can't find out how comfortable a bed or sofa is online but I can sure research instore and then find a cheaper outlet online... Merry Christmas all..
