Click Frenzy's fail doesn't deter retailers


Nov 21, 2012 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Major retailers are pleased with the Click Frenzy discount concept despite technical glitches, with websites struggling to cope with huge volumes of traffic during the 24-hour sale. The Australian event aimed to mimic the US "Cyber Monday" event, and raise awareness among consumers about online shopping from local retailers. The Click Frenzy website crashed due to two million visitors. Retailers reported higher online sales and will participate in the event in 2013.
