Bricks and ClicksBusinesses that have a physical presence that customers can visit, such as shops, are known as ‘bricks and mortar’ businesses. Those that operate online only could be called ‘clicks’ businesses. Of course, some combine face-to-face and online selling. Ezibuy, the NZ seller of clothing and homewares, is a good example of a ‘bricks and clicks’ enterprise.

It is not by accident that a furniture store, appliance store, curtaining store and a home décor shop are located together in a commercial centre. The area might even by signposted “Homezone”.
