Three recent stories give some solace for the brick and mortar (B&M) retailers:
Showrooming Debunked By Sales Data: CEA,
Sun Sets on Endless E-Commerce Summer as Sales Tax Comes to Amazon,
LG Switching To A “One Price” On-Line Policy for HDTV, Blu-ray Players and More. The CEA data is a bit suspect as the internal figures given in the story don't reconcile. However, assuming that the CEA has it reasonably accurate, showrooming is not as big of a problem as was suspected, and the playing field between B&Ms and on-line has shifted in the B&Ms favor.
