IMRG and Hitwise create a “top 50″ table of UK etailers.

The IMRG has teamed with Hitwise to give a “Hot Shop List”, or etail ‘top 50′ that will be updated every quarter.

There are the usual suspects on the list, but also some new entries and surprising movers. This demonstrates the need to look beyond one’s own immediate, sectoral competitors and keep an eye on who’s setting the pace in etail, and who’s taking your customers’ money from their wallets before you get a chance!

The HSL is covered in my piece in InternetRetailing.

InternetRetailer is now InternetRetailing

We’ve decided to change the title of InternetRetailer.info to InternetRetailing.net.

Although we liked the focus on the retailer rather than the verb, we found that too many of our advertisers were confused as to whether we were the ‘UK branch of InternetRetailer.com‘ (we’re not!).

In sales you only have a few seconds to make a sale and so any distractions or confusion are just a waste of time and revenues. So, on that note, welcome to our new name!
