‘We’ll do $10 billion’: Kogan ten-ups Gerry Harvey
Maverick entrepreneur Ruslan Kogan has fired another salvo in his ongoing war of words with retail rival Gerry Harvey, declaring his company would aim to achieve ten times the $1 billion in ten years online sales market which the Harvey Norman chief executive set his company this week.
Harvey publicly stated this week that he had instructed his fledgling online team to turn over $100 million of revenue in the next three years, with the aim of hitting the $1 billion mark within a decade. Harvey Norman has previously been known for its antipathy towards the online medium, despite the decades-long international success of online retailers like Amazon.
In a blog post this afternoon, Kogan welcomed Harvey Norman’s entrance into the online market, but within paragraphs threw down the gauntlet, revealing he had instructed his team to achieve ten times $1 billion in the next ten years.
“We welcome Harvey Norman to the online space and we look forward to some healthy competition, which will ultimately benefit all Australians through greater choice,” Kogan said. “That is why, today, I have responded to Gerry by asking my team to do outdo Harvey Norman 10-fold — that means $10 billion in sales online within 10 years!” The latest figures available about Kogan Technologies show that the company made $12.2 million over the 2009/10 financial year, and had 22 employees.
