IS multi channel worth the money

Very relevant to the Australian landscape, many traditional retailers are asking "Is multi channel worth the money?" I am certain many would say it isn't based on early experiences with etailers in Australia.

The bottom line as usual is a lot of passion and hard work to make it profitable.

Best of luck to the team at Toys R US and Citrus, I'm always excited when a national brand dips their toes into the online retailing space.
