Dell continues to push online sales in Europe

Article Abstract:

Online sales now account for 40% of the total sales of Dell Computer in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Dell now ranks third place behind Compaq and Fujitsu/Siemens in Europe after its sales grew by 8% in 1999. As much as 90% of its sales in the continent originate from businesses and only 10% from consumers. It ranks fifth in Germany, Europe's most lucrative market, but has plans to reach the number three spot. Dell conducts very little marketing in Europe because it has a very large installed customer base and has no need to attract new customers.
