Study shows online sales still rising –

Betterware responds

Door to door and online home shopping giants Betterware comment on news that online sales in the United Kingdom are continuing to grow

The internet was once hit or miss for many companies testing the water in its early development, considered just a fad by many businesses. However, today we rely heavily on the internet for business uses, social interaction, long distance communication and online shopping.

In the last few years the number of people using the internet to purchase services and goods of all descriptions, from holidays to insurance policies, clothes to home goods, has risen significantly.

According to new findings from the Office for National Statistics, there are currently an estimated 38m Britons who use the internet every day, the majority of which for the purpose of socialising through social media sites and online shopping – a huge 15m rise from the number of users back in 2008.

The ONS also reports that the most popular purchases so far for 2014 have been clothes, with 49% of British adults, the majority of which were aged between 25 and 34, making a purchase online. Incidentally, the biggest spike in increased internet use was within the 60+ age group who are increasingly adapting to computers and the internet as a valuable tool to make their lives much easier.
