In today's retail environment online sales are arguably the key to growing a successful retail business. Traditional business models based in physical, bricks & mortar shops are evolving and increasingly retailers are moving to "multichannel" operations. This is no surprise, since trends have shown that UK consumers are more likely than ever to shop online.
According to the Hermes Parcel Deliveries Usage and Attitude Survey, British consumers are almost twice as likely to shop online as their French counterparts, with 27% of UK consumers shopping online between August and October 2014.
The Survey also showed that retailers are now in a position to profit from soaring confidence in online shopping with 42% of British consumers planning to shop online even more over the next year.
With this in mind, every retailer should be exploring their options for getting an e-retail site up and running. Thanks to ActSmart's brand new partnership with Tictail, it's now easier than ever.
