Large retail stores, John Lewis and Next, have both just released details of their Christmas sales figures, and if we can learn anything from them it's that consumers are turning to the web.
Both stores showed increases in online sales over the Christmas period, with John Lewis posting an increase of 20%. Surprisingly Next revealed that the number of people buying from their physical stores actually decreased which reveals a large shift in consumer buying trends.
These examples show that it's more important than ever to have an online presence, and even more importantly you must be found online. Large brands like Next and John Lewis have the added bonus that consumers will go directly to their website, but smaller online businesses will struggle to be found.
This is where online marketing really pays off. SEO and PPC not only ensure that your website ranks for keywords which are relevant to your business, but they also help drive relevant and qualified traffic your way.
