Very useful comment.nicFri, 04 Apr 2008 07:19:38 -0000Re: Internet retail growing fast but still tinyhttp://www.theequitykicker.com/2008/04/02/internet-retail-growing-fast-but-still-tiny/#comment-4456039Hi Nic<br><br>Wouldn't place too much reliance on Minitel numbers as they (+ Juniper ETC.) get lost in a research haze of statistics. Better to focus on addressable retail as nobody is ever going to buy a mars bar online. Here I go direct to source - 18% of all Argos sales are now ordered online and Littlewoods, Findal and other mail order titans are at 50%+ from a base of zero five years ago. <br>IMRG are probably closer to the retail pulse and they have online retail at 15% of the UK pot.Liam LoweFri, 04 Apr 2008 06:51:09 -0000Re: Internet retail growing fast but still tinyhttp://www.theequitykicker.com/2008/04/02/internet-retail-growing-fast-but-still-tiny/#comment-4456038Nic, I couldn’t agree more.
