Nearly half of all Brits (45%) find the inability to touch products online is the biggest barrier to shopping online for Christmas, according to new research.
In its annual Christmas shopping survey, Twenga, the next generation shopping search engine, asked Internet users what are the reasons that would prevent them from doing more of their Christmas shopping online.
Another reason why British Internet users would not like to shop online is because they are worried that the product will not match the description (29%).
E-Retailers listen to their customers
“E-Retailers have got the message – free return offers are very popular, so that customers can touch the product, or order two or three different sizes to try the product and choose the one they like,” says Thérèse Torris, Vice-President Content at Twenga.
