Hitwise: Multi-channel retailers performing better online

Report finds credit crunch is driving customers to familiar High Street names

The credit crunch is favouring multi-channel retailers over pure-play internet etailers according to the latest figures from Hitwise UK.

The internet monitor found that in its latest IMRG-Hitwise Hot Shops List – which ranks the top 50 UK etailers in October – over 30 were High Street retailers with a multi-channel presence.

It found that customers were favouring brand names as they increasingly become concerned over value for money.
