The In-Market Advantage

On-line retail sales in the United States reached US$166 billion in 2007, up 21 per cent from the 2006 year, and the 2006 year itself was up 26 per cent from 2005. To put this into context, on-line retail in America is estimated to be four hundred times New Zealand on-line retail sales.

Many consumers in the United States and Europe are reluctant to purchase from foreign vendors, which severely limits the overseas sales potential of New Zealand-based on-line retailers. The World Wide Access local web store presence in each major market overcomes this barrier.

With a World Wide Access web store, products are described in local terminology, priced in local currency, and stocked in-market for convenient and low-cost delivery. Locally-popular payment and delivery methods are offered, and customers’ order-related questions are answered with in-market customer service.

It’s the in-market advantage, without you having to be there.
