Oxid mail order businesses are performing well
And yet the most important medium, the catalogue, must reinvent itself
The thick Quelle and Neckermann catalogues once heralded the economic miracle of the 1950s. The downfall of both business and their best-known medium – the catalogue – shows how they missed the boat when it came to digital transformation.
The Otto Group proves that it does not have to be like this. Although Otto also discontinued its catalogue in 2018, contemporary digital formats brought new momentum to the traditional company.
