The Sydney market
What we know
about Sydney.
- Who buys
- Sydney’s customers are city workers, beach-side residents, tourists, and a large Indian community in western suburbs such as Harris Park and Parramatta.
- When demand peaks
- Summer from December to February is the busy season, Boxing Day sales and New Year’s Eve fireworks are big, and Vivid Sydney draws crowds in winter.
- The biggest opportunity
- Local service businesses showing up in suburb-based searches, since Sydney buyers look for help close to home.

Our approach
How we would start
in Sydney.
- 01
Build for the buyer
Sydney’s customers are city workers, beach-side residents, tourists, and a large Indian community in western suburbs such as Harris Park and Parramatta. The store, its catalogue and its checkout are shaped around them.
- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in Australia pay — cards, Apple Pay and buy-now-pay-later services — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
Summer from December to February is the busy season, Boxing Day sales and New Year’s Eve fireworks are big, and Vivid Sydney draws crowds in winter. The store is live and tested well before then.
