2020 – The Year When Online Retail Sales Exploded

Growth of online sales was always going to increase further – we’ve seen this year on year for over 10 years now – but who would have thought that it would take a virus to really push it to the next level?

Despite issues with delivery times, which continue to improve, this is absolutely the best time in history to get your business online, or to really push your online marketing activity.

By far the biggest news to come out of who are the biggest losers from coronavirus, is Primark. Its low cost approach to selling clothes meant that it does not have the capability to sell online, nor does it want to offer shipping as it would need to add this to the cost of goods. It literally went from making £650m per month, to zero, overnight.

New Online Shoppers

Having had the best part of three months of being unable to shop at physical stores, increased volumes of people have been forced to go online to make purchases. Many of these may not have made a purchase online previously, but now that they have done so, they could find this much more convenient, and reduce their trips out as a result.

“Convenience” is a huge buzz word in retail, and if you can buy products without having to use petrol, or pay for parking, this is an incentive enough for many to develop this new habit.

Online Sales – The Stats

In 2019, online sales in the UK accounted for 19% of the total retail spend. Interestingly, purchases from mobile phones catered for 55% of this, which reinforces the fact that the majority of all website traffic comes from mobiles. Sales come from a range of industries including;

  • Travel – 23%
  • Fashion and Beauty – 10%
  • Electronics – 7%
  • Food and Personal Care products – 6%

Just over 40% of people find new brands using search engines, such as Google and YouTube. There’s an obvious correlation here between having a strong online presence, and being found in these search engines. Elsewhere on this website we talk about Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), and Pay Per Click advertising (PPC) and there you will be able to see how important it can be in helping you find new customers.

In 2019, reports from various data agencies stated that online shopping would equate to more than double its current levels by 2028. Based on the surge in 2020, we’re already seeing a huge shift towards this target, so much so in fact that we could achieve this initial forecast a couple of years early. A recent study has found that 12% of all people questioned say they would be happy to do more of their shopping online in future.

The percentage of online sales versus the total online and offline sales witnessed a new high of just over 22% as lockdown began to take hold in March 2020. This was dwarfed, however, by April’s result, as the graph below, shows (Source: Office For National Statistics)

Digital Marketing:

Benefits of Hiring a Digital Marketing Agency for Retail

With the retail industry having seen one of the biggest transformations in the way goods are sold, paid for, and delivered, it’s been an exciting yet perhaps worrying journey for many. The best thing you can do to grow your business would be to leverage our vast experience within this sector to help source new leads and sales, to help increase your profitability and brand awareness. As more and more businesses step up their online activity, and more retailers shift their focus to online, it’s crucial that you review all marketing channels in order to steal a march on your competitors.

We can help you every step of the way, whether it’s designing and building a brand new ecommerce store that will showcase your products in the best light, as well as planning strong user journeys that encourage people to spend more money each time they visit. We place the right amount of focus on the mobile phone experience, ensuring that products can be found easily, images and text are clearly visible, and that the shopping cart is user friendly.

Social Media For Retailers

Never have social media platforms been more important in listening and responding to customers. With more than 3 billion people using social media every month, it’s a key driver of a customer’s experience and expectation. Facebook in particular is driving sales directly, having created the ability to sell your products directly from its platform, without having to visit your website. This is the future for other social media giants, and you can imagine that more will be following suit very soon. Using social media purely for brand awareness is now an outdated reason for using it, because it’s now transformed into a new powerful way of building your business.

Did you know that you can monitor what people are saying online, about a famous person, place, topic or product, and in real-time? There are several ways to conduct what we call “social listening”, which can help define your brand and your service offering. This will help you to find more effective and efficient ways of allowing them to engage with your brand.

Paid Advertising Using Social Media

Facebook isn’t the only social media company that provides a paid advertising model – you can also choose from Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, to name but a few. We’ll help you to understand which platforms may be best equipped to help you maximise your marketing budget, and to find the most relevant audiences.
