In the latest study about online sales from Q1 by Forrester Research and Shop.org, there is a significant increase in online sales of 11%. A least, 58% of the people changing their online strategies have increased their online sales.

Consumers are buying more items online than in stores and has been the main reason of for the surge of sales.

If these first quarter numbers are any indication, it looks like a lot of people will keep buying online instead of going out to the stores. With the economic crisis people are spending more time at home and surf the web more often.
