Smart female shoppers go online
20 February 2006 – The Internet has
become an incredible money- and time-saver for everyone
who has explored the wide variety of items and services
available online. For the average busy woman with work
and home responsibilities, the Internet is an immense
asset. From purchasing holidays to insurance to tyres,
going online can save loads of money for the savvy
consumer. In addition, with a click of the mouse, a
shopper can compare prices, make a choice, place an
order and go on with her day.
According to Verdict Research, online retail sales in
the UK are up 30%, making it the fastest growing retail
sector. People are becoming more confident in Internet
purchases, to the benefit of online businesses and the
detriment of the high street.
