3.6 million Brits to hit online stores on Christmas day
If you’re running an e-commerce store targeted to Brits then you better be prepared. According to the Interactive Media in Retail Group, approximately 3.6 million Brits are expected to shop online on Christmas day and spend about 14.56 pounds per person. Overall estimated online spending is 52 million pounds or $103 million.

I don’t think that 3.6 million Brits is a great number. I wuoldn’t be surprised even if 5 million of them were the customers of e-commerce.
