“So even though well over three million customers used Kogan.com in the last 12 months, we feel like we’re just getting started. We’re not just focused on today or tomorrow, but how we’ll continue to delight all our customers on our 30th birthday.”

“The rapidly expanding network effect at Kogan.com means that as we attract more customers, we’re able to make the products and services they need even more affordable and accessible,” said Kogan.

“I love hearing feedback from customers that have shopped with us many times over our 15-year journey about how the experience keeps getting better and better – this is what makes our team jump out of bed in the morning. The investments we’re making into Kogan.com today are to ensure that we can continue to delight millions of customers in more and more ways.”

Kogan plans to make significant improvements to its logistics network, speed of delivery, expanding its product range and improved competition on its platform. This aims to drive a better experience for its rapidly growing customer base.

“As we enter the half-way mark of this critical financial year of growth, I’d like to thank the Kogan.com team for their tireless work to delight our customers. They are the most talented and passionate team in eCommerce and they’re helping to completely change our industry and the customer experience for the better,” Kogan said.
