More and more businesses are realising that generating a substantial return on investment online is really possible. The wide scale adoption of broadband by business and consumer alike has helpedthe online scene mature from the ashes of the dotcom crash to a viable business proposition.
uSwitch, an online shopping comparison service, estimates that by 2020 online sales will stand at £142 billion. If that seems a long way off to you, look at what’s happening right now. Today more than eight million households in the UK spend two hours a day shopping online. In 2005, sales according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) over the Internet were £103 billion and those figures are going to seem woefully small in years to come.
I will quote one last figure from the ONS that I think will surprise you. More business buy over the Internet than sell; the ratio is approximately 4:1. And 56% of all companies buy online. Quite a market I am sure you will agree.
If you are a business that wants to seriously consider trading online or have tried and not succeeded then I believe the following guidance will help transform your results.
