tuesday 11th march 2008: e-nabling business

More than 80% of adults in the UK shopped online in 2007 (www.logantod.co.uk), with the Christmas season alone exceeding analysts’ predictions for growth in the eCommerce sector by 14% (IMRG). And this year looks set to be the biggest yet for online retailers: according to the latest Logan Tod Online Shopping Index, over 50% of the UK’s online shoppers intend to increase their spend in the run up to Christmas 2008.

The convenience of 24-hour shopping, lack of crowds and competitive pricing are all motivating factors in keeping consumers’ feet firmly under the desk rather than out on the high street – what measures has your organisation taken to counteract this deterioration in footfall?

Anix is hosting a free half-day seminar on the latest trends and issues associated with eCommerce and the mechanics of building a successful site, from strategy to rollout and ongoing upkeep.
