Online Clothing Sales Fell For The First Time In Britain

　　凯捷英国公司(Capgemini U.K.Plc)称，因二战以来最严重的衰退导致消费者消费的不景气，使英国网上服装销售在9年来首次下降。凯捷在报告中指出，与上个月相比，基于网络的服装销售额下跌2%。此月度下滑是自2000年有此项记录以来的第一次。

Webster Chris Webster said in a statement that the growth of online clothing revenue began to decline in the middle of 2008, and this year the rate of decline has accelerated.

Consumers spend more on Mother's day and prepare for Easter.

According to a survey of 50 retailers, the purchase of online beer and wine increased by 10% due to the warming of the weather and the increase of tax revenue by 2%.

Webster said that the increase in food and energy prices has made families that have less after tax income to cut spending.

Total retail sales rose by 14% over the same period last year, and the average cost of each visit rose by 10 pounds ($15.23) to 131.76 pounds.

Webster said clothing sales are still a healthy industry and are expected to continue to grow.
