At only $99, people can upskill in the comfort of their own home, which is invaluable if they are not given time off work to undertake professional development courses. Employees who are also finding their companies reluctant to pay for their training or have been recently made redundant can afford to pay for their own training to improve their skills and marketability.

Another expression you've probably heard of is the "cocooning effect"-- where in a downturn consumers spend more time at home and internet based services stand to benefit from this. As an at home service, with free delivery consumers Quickflix can choose online DVD rental to other alternatives including late fees, fuel and parking costs associated with video stores. Not only that but consumers will also rationalise their expenditure at home perhaps opting for simple pay as you go services (again like Quickflix) over paytv style contracts which seek to lock in the consumer for a year or more.
