Stores vs. Web Sites: The Battle Continues
Internet users are "multi-channel shoppers". While most shoppers rely heavily on in-store purchases, retailers must branch out to reduce the risk of losing customers to multi-channel competitors.
"Online retailers need to capitalize on and support their unique shopping and service competencies, while finding ways to achieve parity with stores on factors related to returns and product pricing and selection," said Mary Brett Whitfield, Director of the PricewaterhouseCoopers E-Retail Intelligence System®.
One survey conducted indicated that purchases for such things as apparel and electronics are readily in competition with Internet stores. Web purchases of apparel and consumer electronics are more likely to be influenced by shopping experiences at other channels than vice-versa.
For apparel, for example, almost 50% of Internet users surveyed showed that recent online purchases were influenced by catalogs or "brick and mortar" stores. Also, roughly 33% of catalog clothing purchasers and 25% of store clothing purchasers reported that their purchases were influenced by experiences they had online.

Israel Closes Gaza Border Crossings
Israel, in response to bombings, closed off all access to Gaza. This action will prevent necessities such as food and humanitarian supplies from reaching the coastal strip. This is an effort to stop the unnecessary "barrage of rocket attacks on Israeli towns".
Israel is trying to pressure Hamas rulers to cease and desist rocket launches that have damaged at least one daycare. Israel retaliated by shooting down many of the rockets which inadvertently caused two deaths. Subsequently 19 Palestinians were killed in response to the anti-rocket raid, these deaths include that of the son of a prominent Hamas leader.
Several trucks carrying supplies were turned away, said Defense Ministry spokesman Shlomo Dror. "It's time that Hamas decide to either fight or take care of its people," Dror said.
