Bing Lee, an electrical and consumer electronics retailer has launched its online retail store

After retailing appliances in Australia for over 50 years, 2010 marks a huge change in how Bing Lee will be conducting business for the next half century. Bing Lee claims to carry over their reputation of "Everything's negotiable" onto the website yet there is no killer app that allows a user to negotiate a deal, rather the user is taken to a contact page where they can contact Bing Lee. Regardless of this, with Peter Krideras (ex Big Brown box) at the helm, Bing Lee should go from strength to strength.
Media release:
This week, Bing Lee launched their first ever online store. The same products you and your family use each and everyday can now be purchased from the convenience of your home computer screen.

Digital Relationship Marketing Tips for Online Retailing
Written by Jeremy Glass, Managing Director, Permission
The word is out. Online retailing is proving to be successful for many Australian businesses and as e-retailing gains momentum, many traditional retailers are caught out by not understanding the major differences between online retail and in-store retail.
Some retailers build a website and expect it to work successfully alongside their physical store without putting any real thought into their online marketing strategy. Others don’t appreciate that the relationship you build with your customers online is very different to the one you have with customers in person.
Understanding these differences is a key component to building a successful online retail business and building a strong digital relationship with customers is essential to success.
