During the holiday period, almost half of European customers, 41%, shop primarily in stores, while another 20% also shop online, and most of them look for discount products, according to Oracle's trade survey, writes profitline.hu.
The study found that, for products bought online, home delivery (52%) is the most popular, compared to pickup points and store pickup (20% each).
According to Oracle, this will prompt retailers to ensure fast delivery of gifts and make the journey of goods traceable.
