Oldies.com, a West Conshohocken-based ecommerce and catalog retailer for classic music and movies, still does 75 percent of its business via catalog. The rest is online, the Daily News reported.

Oldies.com is “one of the largest music and mail-order companies in the U.S. and one of the largest resellers of vinyl records,” according to the report.

The company’s ecommerce and catalog breakdown differs from companies like, say, Urban Outfitters, who have stopped opening new stores and doubled down on ecommerce. It probably helps that Urban Outfitters has a customer base largely more digitally native.

“We can no longer say we mostly sell to men over the age of 50,” she said.
