For tranditional stores,online shopping has become a cause of concern in a difficult retail environment.The Internet is accounting for more spending than ever.In addition,it also makes it easier for consumers to compare prices across a far bigger selection of items than a trip to the high street.

Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

*Consumers have a wider range of goods available on its US site.

Amazon has this year increased its involvement in video programming on its site,launching a weekly interview programme with artists and authors .In 2004,the company also produced five short live-action films on its website,featuring famous actors,which it used to promote its credit card and the range of goods available on its US site.

Who have been used to advertise Amazon products?

*Artists and authors

Demand from advertisers,however,is strengthened because people believe that online advertising generates a high return on investment.M     easurement is never easy,but based on survey date from TNS Media Intelligence,online currently enjoys a return on investment of 26 per cent,compared with 17 per cent for magazines,the next closest category.

Which is TRUE according to the passage?

*The amount of money spent on advertising is increasing.

The key difference between online selling high street retailing is that when you’re selling online,it’s much more like a mail order company rather than a retailer,you have to have warehouse with all the goods,you have to send out the goods in the post or by delivery.

Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

*You don’t have to have a warehouse when selling online.

To be successful in operating in the online and offline world ,retailers should probably try to integrate the two as much as possible.Some businesses,for example,have set up their operation to allow customers to shop online,over the telephone or in stores.

What can be inferred from the reading passage?

*In order to be successful,retailers should sell products both online and in shops.
