British shoppers spent more online than ever before in the run-up to Christmas. The snappily titled IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index shows that UK shoppers spent £5.46 billion online in December —the equivalent of £88.93 for every person in the UK.

This is a 17% increase on December 2008. Recession, what recession?

“2010 looks set to produce another year of strong results for e-retail, with demand expected to remain high as consumers habitually look online for best buys, and a pipeline of significant improvements emerge, including wider product range availability, even better websites and a greater choice of convenient and more reliable delivery options,”

James Roper the chief exec of IMRG.

If your online sales didn’t grow by at least 17% last year you need to be asking yourself why? What should you be doing today to ensure that your growth in 2010 is as strong as the wider market if not significantly higher?

Look at your AdWords account and ask if your click through rate could be improved by 17%? Could you improve your conversion rate by 17%? Would a 17% increase in daily budget bring a 17% increase in sales?

How many extra customers would you find by listing your products in Google product search?
