I'd be careful with definition of "online sales" - matter of fact is that many traditional retailers have successfully leveraged their stores with online presence by allowing customers to order online but collect in store – this is a great thing to have but in my view should not be counted as “online sales”, ie direct sales to customer. I’d also question whether call centre placed orders should be part of “online sales”. I have not got access to IMRG stats and I do not know if they take this into account but I know that ratio of above mentioned non-online components could be anything up to 90%.

That said my observation is that online traffic is on the up and the notion of e-commerce being critical to success is catching up starting from small companies who trade via ebay to old fashioned retailers.
