Credit Crunch, What Credit Crunch

Did you know that online spending in the UK hit £4.5bn in May 2008, an increase of 1.6 per cent on April 2008, according to the latest IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index. This is an year on year 30% increase and averages £73 spend by every person in the UK.

We have been hearing recently about the credit crunch but here at A Pondlife Limited we have seen an increase in our new customers during the first half of this year. This might show that although the high street is suffering, many Norwich and Norfolk based companies are fighting back and using online marketing and internet marketing solutions as a way of attracting new business.

A recent article which i read states that one in five pounds spent in the UK is spend with an online retailer. This only goes to show the power of online marketing and the amount of business that is in cyber space. Who could have predicted these figures a few years ago? but one thing is for sure these figures will only rise and whilst offline marketing still has a place for branding, online marketing is the new and smarter money maker.
