“Moleskine’s operating margin, its profit as a percentage of revenue, was 41.7% last year. That compares favorably—indeed, very favorably—to the luxury brands the company considers to be peers, like luggage-maker Tumi (19.7%), fashion firm Prada (27.2%), and beauty-product boutique L’Occitane (16.7%). It’s not hard to see why.

On March 4, an editor at The Atlantic asked Nate Thayer if he could write a condensed version of a story he’d published on NKNews about Dennis Rodman’s visit to North Korea. Thayer expressed interest. The editor responded:

Thanks for responding. Maybe by the end of the week? 1,200 words?…

Here are the key figures for today in active mobile users

• Facebook:…680m
• Twitter:….120m
• LinkedIn:….46m
• Foursquare:..30m

Still, as important as it is, social usage only accounts for 17 minutes per day, vs. 25 minutes for internet browsing and a mere 12 minutes for voice calls. Most likely, the growth of video will impact the use of social networks as Facebook collects more and more videos directly uploaded from smartphones.

Our research showed that around a quarter of all UK shoppers used their mobile in a store to compare prices elsewhere in the run-up to Christmas.

Unlike other recent studies on showrooming, we also gathered data on how consumers acted, once they’d compared prices by mobile, with 40% saying they bought elsewhere as a direct result of showrooming.

Research highlights included:

• 24% of all UK shoppers ‘showroomed’ in the lead-up to Xmas 2012.
• 40% of showroomers (or 1 in 10 of all shoppers) say they bought items from a competitor – either in-store or online – after comparing prices via their mobile when visiting a store.
• 39% of 18-39 year olds surveyed said that they actively engaged in showrooming over the Xmas period (compared to just 18% of shoppers over the age of 40).
• A 10% sales ‘leakage’ from showrooming activities would have meant that around £500m** of sales were switched between retailers in the final weekend before Xmas alone.
• Over 20% of people say they went into a store just to check out something they planned to buy online.

Our research uncovers the true impact of showrooming on the UK High Street over the Christmas period. It shows that 1 in 10 shoppers switched purchases from one retailer to another as a direct result of showrooming. Or put another way, half a billion pounds of business walked out of the door to a competitor.
