Posted on December 9, 2009ClickandBuy records boom in Christmas trade - one in every five German purchases gifts online
E-commerce and e-payment in Germany is experiencing a boom like never before. Online stores can look forward to a real onslaught in the run-up to Christmas. According to Bitkom, the inter-trade organisation, 20 percent of the German population order their gifts online. As a market leader in e-payment, ClickandBuy is expecting new sales records from online Christmas shopping. ClickandBuy CMO Michael Grodd states: "It's incredible how the Christmas shopping season has started. This pre-Christmas period will see online sales surpassing the excellent results obtained last year by far!" Purchasing gifts on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular: One in every five German aged 14 and over intends to order their Christmas presents online this year. This is the result of a survey conducted by the Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (Bitkom) and the Forsa polling institute. That is an increase of a third in comparison to last year. A study carried out by the E-Commerce-Center Handel at the University of Cologne (ECC) revealed that online stores are able to benefit significantly and boost their sales by up to 150 percent by using the ClickandBuy payment system. According to the Bitkom study the web is the ideal shopping destination for purchasing Christmas gifts during the Advent period for up to 23 million Germans. The latest study conducted by the Federal Association of German Mail Order Traders (bdv) reveals that more than 32 million people in Germany regularly shop on the Internet over the course of the year. The "Webshopping 2009" trend study identified that people 'who made at least one online purchase in the last twelve months' accounted for well in excess of 90 percent of all German Internet users. This remarkable result of 97.4 percent, when compared to the findings of the "Home Shopping Study" from 2007, represents an increase of 28.1 percent. E-commerce in Germany is booming: According to preliminary estimates by the Association of Mail Order Traders, online retailers will record sales of 21.8 billion Euro this year - more than ever before. Computer games, mobile phones, PCs, flat screen TVs and digital cameras are some of the items most frequently purchased online. According to the survey by the bdv the German population will spend more money this year on their online purchases than ever before. The value of goods ordered via the Internet has accounted for more than half of the mail-order sales for the very first time. Preliminary estimates put the sales generated by online retailers at 21.8 billion Euro in 2009. Of this, around 15.4 billion is accounted for by goods and 6.4 billion is accounted for by digital services such as music files, online tickets and accommodation bookings. The increase in turnover corresponds to an improvement of around 13 percent in comparison to the previous year. According to the bdv retailers generated sales of 19.3 billion in 2008. Bitkom states that 1.4 million online shoppers had already bought their Christmas gifts online by the beginning of November, thereby deciding to avoid the stress of the holidays at an early stage. Ordering via the Internet can take the hassle out of laborious shopping sprees. Bitkom ascertained that young adults in particular do their shopping online: One person in every three uses this option in the 18 - 44 age category. In contrast, only three percent of those aged 60 and above shop via the Internet. There are likewise differences between the sexes: While 23 percent of men order gifts online, this figure is only 18 percent for women. A comparison of occupational groups indicates a clear emergence of civil servants. 41 percent of civil servants purchase their Christmas gifts online - compared to 32 percent of students and only 14 percent of blue-collar workers.

Posted on December 8, 2009Online shopping: ClickandBuy overtakes cash on delivery and hire purchase
An IZH5 study conducted by ECC Handel confirms the popularity and rapidly increasing use of the online payment system ClickandBuy
An increasing number of shoppers are using ClickandBuy to pay for their online purchases. More than twelve million customers are already using ClickandBuy as a secure and simple Internet payment system, and in excess of 14,000 retailers have placed their trust in the renowned e-money institution, which has ten years of experience in billing for e-Commerce and Paid Content & Services. Online stores that have integrated ClickandBuy as their payment system benefit twofold: On one hand, they benefit through a significant increase in sales, and on the other through a considerably reduced purchase cancellation rate averaging around seven percent, as identified in the recent study conducted by the E-Commerce-Center Handel at the University of Cologne (ECC Handel). The economic research institute also came to the conclusion that more than one in every six Euro is transacted via ClickandBuy when an online store offers it as a payment option. This indicates that ClickandBuy has been able to position itself as an e-Payment system in front of other payment methods. With a percentage range in double and triple figures, this business-related revenue is significantly higher than that achieved with previously popular payment methods, such as cash on delivery (around 60 percent higher) or hire purchase (over 200 percent more). In these business-related transactions, for example, ClickandBuy more than triples the revenue generated by giropay. The study conducted by ECC Handel in December 2008 entitled "Die Effektivität vertrauensbildender Maßnahmen" (The effectiveness of confidence-building measures) (http://www.ecc-handel.de/die_effektivitaet_vertrauensbildender_massnahmen_6375901.php), which illustrated the fact that online stores can significantly benefit through the use of ClickandBuy as their Internet payment system and even increase their sales by up to 150 percent, is supported by a recent study by the E-Commerce-Center Handel in Cologne, which emphasises the attractiveness of ClickandBuy as a payment system for online retailers. The IZH5 study is based on a series of data enquiries, in which 315 companies that use the Internet as a distribution channel were surveyed. One issue that was investigated, amongst others, was the proportion of online sales for the respective payment method. The complete study entitled "Internet-Zahlungsverkehr aus Sicht der Händler: Ergebnisse der Umfrage IZH5" ("Internet transactions from the retailer's perspective: Results of survey IZH5) can be purchased from February in the ECC Handel store at www.ecc-handel.de.About ClickandBuy
