He said the company was poised for a strong fourth quarter, which is helped by the increased activity that comes with the end of the financial year.
Kogan.com expanded into offering pet insurance, life insurance and an NBN internet service earlier this month.
This is on top of its existing offering of health insurance, travel insurance and travel deals and an expanded retail products range since its share market launch.
