Almost 5 million Britons are expected to go online shopping on Christmas Day and spend over 150 million pounds ($232 million) as they look to grab bargains and beat a rise in January in VAT sales tax,a retail group said on Thursday.There are 4.8 million shoppers hit their computers on December 25 and spend a record 153 million pounds.
As a matter of fact,the estimate was backed up by payments company Visa Europe, which expected 960,000 transactions worth 36 million pounds would be made on Visa cards on Christmas Day. Visa transactions account for over 1 pound in every 4 pounds spent.
Online sales surged an average 22.5 percent year-on-year in October and December and although deliveries have been disrupted by recent adverse weather conditions vogue-mall.com was confident shoppers will not have been put off.
Christmas Day has become a busy online shopping day in recent years as people with an eye for value look to take advantage of the 24/7 nature of online retail.With many people not being able to get out to the high street sales due to the wide-ranging impact of the snow, online could see a real boost over the next few weeks.Otherwise,like furniture and electrical goods, could get a boost ahead of an increase in VAT sales tax in early January.
