Online Shopping Results for Christmas 2006
Last year (2006) British consumers spent £20 billion online ; this year that is expected to rise to £30 billion.
The Losers
The christmas period has seen some very notable companies suffer due to declining high street sales. HMV and Woolworths both issued profit warnings, while music and film specialist MusicZone filed for administration.
The Winners
Companies with a strong online presence emerged as the winners in the competition for online Christmas sales.
Wine merchant Majestic’s online sales increased by 30 percent this Christmas and now account for seven percent of turnover.
The importance of the internet as a sales channel for high-street traders was highlighted by Next. Its online sales rose 9.3 percent in the period from 31 July to 24 December, while its shops saw a 6.9 percent fall in sales.
John Lewis reported an increase of 60 percent in online turnover.
Tesco.com, meanwhile, reported 1.3 million customer orders in the four-week run-up to Christmas, an increase of around 30 percent on 2005.
The Challenge
“A good level of customer service and a simple system for returning goods are important,” said EBTM chief executive Richard Breeden. “Successful [online] retailers must tick these boxes to have a chance.” Call or email TechFish to help steer your company through the challenge..
