Online retail shopping shot up in August to £3.8bn – that's a 16 per cent rise year on year, according to the latest IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index.
It's a sign businesses are wising up to the web and grabbing their share of the online retail boom. According to the IMRG report, retailers are upping their game in the online stakes with more user-friendly sites.
The continued growth in the online retail market shows it's weathering the economic storm better than other channels of business. And those who jump on the online wagon will reap the rewards, says IMRG's director.
It's a fact more and more small businesses are twigging on to as Mr Site's Takeaway Website keeps growing in popularity, with 80,000 individuals and small businesses now online after using this product.
