Report predicts half of UK retail sales will be online within 10 years
ONLINE SHOPPING TO DOUBLE
Online shopping from our phones and other devices could more than double its share of the retail shopping market by 2028, according to a report.
We have been selling vintage fashion, jewellery and homewares since March 2011 here at www.LovelysVintageEmporium.com and we have grown every year since. It is because it is so much easier to just sit at home or on public transport and browse the internet and click and buy - and then get it delivered! Oh and because our stuff is good...
As our lives become more and more digital and there is increased demand for faster, cheaper home deliveries this means that online shopping will soon be the dominant channel for retail and that physical stores will continue to decrease in number. The research by Ubamarket found:
7.6 million consumers struggle to find items in-store
17.8 million people said that waiting times could deter them from in-store shopping
73% of UK consumers – 37.5 million people – have changed their mind and decided not to buy something having seen the size of a queue in a shop
71% of online shoppers said they are frustrated with their online supermarket experience
Happy shopping ONLINE everyone!! Great to hear that within ten years half of UK retail sales will be online!
