In order to deliver information on current and future developments in the German e-commerce landscape and to represent a realistic image of the hopes and fears of the German e-retailers, the E-Commerce Center Handel has created a new survey panel: e-KIX (e-Konjunkturindex), a kind of index of the expectations e-retailers have towards the economic development. Already 800 online shop operators gave registered in order to join the surveys and fill in the questionnaires.
Created in cooperation with the Tradoria shop platform and Trusted Shops, e-KIX will be delivered free of charge monthly by the ECC Handel via e-mail. Every semester there will be special analyses, which are not free of charge except for those who participate in the polls.
