Shopping online is still favourite for UK Market
The UK has shown a keen eye to spend despite the challenging economic conditions and a slight decline in sales reported for 2009. Even so, a staggering £250 billion has been spent by consumers hitting the ‘checkout’ button in the last 10 years.
The love affair of spending online shows no sign of fading as sales have exploded year on year. Little wonder as new media evolves and has allowed Tingleweb to integrate product browsing facilities such as ‘Product Zoom’, ‘Send to a friend’, ‘Wishlist’, ‘Giftwrap’ and ‘Live Stock’ availability within their ecommerce platform.
Tingleweb realise that as businesses continue to advance, so do the marketing and sales trends. We recommend having solutions in place which are easily adaptable and can support change when it happens. Our multi-channel support is growing with the ability to integrate ecommerce with online stores such as eBay and Amazon.
Tingleweb predict ecommerce companies having a greater need for cross-border trading as the UK market continues to spend. Having a website with international support including shipping rates, multi-currency and multi-language options increases your audience but can also encourage trust for the consumer.
Mobile commerce (mcommerce) has also started to become a major technological advancement of the next decade. Improvements in handset technology, browser compatibility and value data packages mean that ecommerce companies should now be budgeting for their mobile store or app.
To date, in 2010 the UK has spent a healthy £26.2 billion online, with June accounting for 20% of that amount. With sales figures like these, shopping online is fast becoming simple, cheap and an easy way to shop, just like every online retailer hoped it would. Why not benefit from the UK’s consumer spending ?
