The growth – for January – March 2011 – returns us back to ‘square one’ in a way, following the 0.5% economic contraction we saw in the last 3 months of 2010. The news has drawn a mixed response from experts and the public alike, the fact that the country has avoided a second month of economic shrinkage is good news, however there had been hopes for more growth, especially as the governments ‘austerity measures’ – or, budget cuts – are still in their early stages.

The internet and E-Commerce still continues to grow and play a huge part in the economy throughout these tough times, showing the way in which the world is going, with more and more people going online.

If you want to take your business that next step and get online, then please call our friendly team of internet marketing and ecommerce experts on 01623 650333.

The changes which – according to business secretary Vince Cable – will help 890,000 low paid workers will be  following:

• over-20s: up 15p (2.5%) to £6.08
• 18-20 year-olds: up 6p (1.2%) to £4.98
• 16-17 year-olds: up 4p (1.1%) to £3.68
• apprentices: up 10p to (4%) £2.60.

TUC general secretary Brendan Barber believes that the ‘modest’ rise in wages should help to stimulate the economy, with people having more money to spend, whilst opposition to the move claim it will ‘price young people out of the jobs market’.

In line with Brendan Barber’s opinions, this move could well help to stimulate the economy, more specifically the online one. With ecommerce constantly growing, and online activities becoming more and more common with young people, giving them more money is likely to cause them to spend more of it online, which is what the government, and business, will want.

The new website, allows users to view a range of used cars from £3000 to £30000 and even ‘pre-order’ them online, however it is not possible to test drive the cars, a video of the car being used is the most someone can expect, although Tesco have insisted that the cars will all be strictly tested before being made available, with mechanical inspections from the RAC.

With a brand name such as Tesco now entering the 1million Google searches a month market of used cars, you have to wonder what effect this could have on the face of the market, will the small time used car dealership begin to disappear? and also how will this effect the internet shopping world? With the countries biggest retailer championing ecommerce for even large items such as cars, will we see further devlopment.

In 2010, the £288bn spent using debit card purchases (a 9.4% increase) actually outstripped cash payments which totalled £266bn. Internet shopping – particularly through the heavy shopping periods such as Christmas - is thought to be the reason behind this big increase in card payments as e-commerce continues to become more and more popular every year.

Its easy to see why, being able to shop whenever you feel, from the comfort of your own home, and compare prices and products with just a few clicks of the mouse, easy. These figures should be a wake up call for any business owners who are yet to take their business online, the amount of profit you will be missing out on is huge, and failure to evolve along with modern life, could ultimately lead to business failure.

We have a team who specialise in ecommerce building and optimisation to provide you with an easy to use, professional platform from which you can run your business online.

Last years extremely bad weather has been burdened with a lot of the blame for this economic slump, with the huge amounts of snow driving people away from the high street, however the shrink was still more than the 0.5% expected due to the snow, fuelling fears that we could very well be heading on the dangerous path to a ‘double-dip’ recession.

The governments V.A.T rise and deep spending cuts have already been met with plenty of apprehension and questioning by financial experts and the public alike, and if this shrinking continues, you can guarantee the apprehension will turn to anger.

This news however, does follow the announcement a few days ago of ecommerce sales rose in both December and January based on last year, more stronger evidence that to increase sales and growth, more and more companies need to be getting online.

We build websites most days, we do alot of eCommerce in Nottingham and have recently started developing our own plug ins for the sites and platforms we use. It has shocked me just how much certain industries are missing out on. There are so many amazing add ons for Cubecart that make the users experience so much better.
