Survey shows boom in online shopping

A new survey says almost half the Island upped the amount of cash they spent shopping online last year.

Research from Jersey-based company Island Global Research has just been published looking into people's spending habits.

46 per cent of Isle of Man residents said their online spending 'increased' or 'increased a lot' in 2016 compared to the previous year.

The biggest reason given by those living on the Island for doing their shopping online rather than in Manx shops was convenience.
