The popularity of laredoute.fr, ranking eighth among French e-commerce sites in 2011, proves that consumers would prefer to shop online for fashion and home decor products than use mail order catalogues.
On the Internet, consumers can look for inspiration in online magazines, ask for advice on forums and blogs and browse e-commerce to get information and make purchases.
