Releasing its results for the 2015 financial year today, Dick Smith reports that online sales increased from just 4% of all sales (in store and online) in 2014 to 8% now.
The company partly attributes the online sales growth to the adoption of Pay and Collect facilities for online customers from all stores and over 210 stores shipping directly to online customers.
A partnership with eBay also contributed to the steady growth in online sales, as well as promotional activities across the group also driving online sales.
