Internet sales hit all time high

21.04.08

Internet sales have hit an all-time high in the UK as price-conscious shoppers shun the high street in lieu of bargain-hunting online, reports the Independent.

Through the first three months of the year, web sales passed the £13bn mark, a 50% increase over the same period last year and equal to £213 for every person in the UK. The figures, compiled in the IMRG e-Retail Sales Index, underline the growing importance of the web to retailers as the wider economy slows, reports the newspaper.
