More Shoppers Continue To Go on-line

According to the latest figures from IMRG (Interactive Media in Retail Group) and Capgemini show that online sales in UK were up 16% in November on last year as consumers avoid the high street in favour of internet bargains.

 Ahead of the festive season, sales of
shoes and accessories grew by 32% and 108% respectively from October,
whilst sales clothes rose 18%. Online shoppers also turned to the
internet for alcohol purchases, with spending up 53% in November
compared with October.
IMRG chief executive James Roper said, "It
is time for high street retailers to diversify their activities by
fully embracing the online space, as their customers have".
