Description: In a recently published and controversial report, Jupiter Research challenges what has quickly become the conventional wisdom that customers who shop across all channels are more valuable to retailers than other online buyers and suggests that such shoppers could actually be a liability.

So they concluded that the web was destined to play a minor part in merchandising and would never fulfill the promise of the visionaries who pictured a revolutionary role for the Internet in all aspects of retailing.
