In today’s Internet Retailing newsletter we take a look back to Christmas 2012 and ahead to what 2013 is set to bring the industry.
We report on what has already been dubbed the biggest online shopping day in history, Boxing Day 2012, while we also bring you the first figures from retailers Next and John Lewis as they report on their seasonal trading, as well as figures on landmark digital entertainment sales.
