An investigation from provider of PC-based e-commerce technology, Actinic Software Ltd, has revealed that many UK online stores had a seasonal boost in year-on-year growth.
In comparison to the average of 66% increase in year-on-year online sale, traditional high-street stores are reported to have experienced a flat Christmas.
Actinic asked for flash sales figures over the Christmas period from its retailers who had been trading online for more than a year.
Examples of online stores with year-on-year growth are Anything Left-Handed, with a 125% increase and The Gentleman's Shop, with a 121% growth.
