KPI's - book industry on a bull run?

Both NZ and AU continue to go gangbusters, particularly in NZ. I wonder how long this can continue?

The other interesting observation is that both NZ & AU are up overall on the previous year. There will be winners and losers in this but overall, all the lock down losses have been made up.

Sales compared to last year  Sep / Oct

  • Australia: +18.9 / +13%
  • New Zealand: +31 / +21%

System traffic

  • 28 million page views in September a slight drop to 27 million in October but still a huge number. Almost all are on the new r4 platform.

Development in October

In October we rolled out improvements to the website checkout process and mobile view, improved deals, speed and security and setup test infrastructure in Sydney.

In progress
