Mr Coulter was particularly pleased with its net promoter score. This measure of customer satisfaction reached a record of 65%+ during the fourth quarter.
"Out of all the great numbers that we are releasing today, the record level of customer satisfaction is the one that I am most proud of. Many customers are trying online shopping for their homes for the first time out of necessity and it's clear the inherent benefits of online, being range, value and convenience, have resonated with those customers," he commented.
Trading update.
Pleasingly, Temple & Webster has started the new financial year in a positive fashion.
Management advised that July's revenue growth rates are in line with those experienced throughout the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter revenue was up 130% on the prior corresponding period.
Looking ahead, Temple & Webster advised that it is committed to a high growth strategy to take advantage of the structural shift towards online. It intends to capitalise on both organic and inorganic opportunities.
This strategy supports Temple & Webster's stated goal of becoming the first place Australians turn to when shopping for their homes and work spaces.
