In the UK approximately £22.5 billion pounds was spent online in 2009.  In December 2010 online retail sales hit £5.46bn, an increase of 17% compared with the same month the previous year.  This compares with an increase of just 3.6% for all retail sales.  The online market predicted to grow by at least 10% each year; despite the recession.   All these are compelling reasons why most business, even 'bricks and mortar' ones, should be targeting at least 10% of their business being online as a minimum with 25% being health. This might seem a tall order, however web-based sales offer several advantages to your business:  

• Increased customer volumes by extending your reach geographically and demographically.
• Experience has shown that web shoppers are not high street shoppers; you need both.
• Convenience and Shopping hours to suit the customer - 24 x 7 shopping is the norm for customers, but is an expensive option with bricks and mortar. Top consumer sites will be busy from 9am to 1am.
• Higher value per sale - by careful design the web site can up-sell or cross-sell related goods and services, thus increasing the value of the basket.
• Higher retention and better information capture - by careful design the web site can legally capture customers details and provide opportunities for future marketing.
