Not only are online shoppers spending more online, they are buying more different types of goods. Consumers are now buying big-ticket items on the Internet like refrigerators and treadmills, and even luxury goods such as designer apparel and jewelry. This opens new possibilities for creative Web retailers.
The US Retail E-Commerce report looks at how online sales are becoming an ever more significant of the country's retail sector.

eMarketer estimates that retail e-commerce sales will increase an average 18.6% per year between 2005 and 2009 — that's strong growth, but still a downturn from the 26% annual rate seen between 2001 and 2005. It is not a cause for concern, however, but a sign of a maturing e-commerce marketplace. Still, exciting developments are taking place on the market's edge, where small Web retailers are emerging to meet the needs of shoppers with special needs and interests.

E commerce 2.0
A few years ago, Tim O’Reilly introduced the concept of Web 2.0 to make sense out of what was next for software solutions. Web 2.0 explains how the realities of tomorrow will change how software solutions are designed, created, and used.

By examining and extrapolating Web 2.0 principles, I began to see that they had important implications for online retailing. This is ultimately where the concept of eCommerce 2.0, and the Six Principles of eCommerce 2.0, comes from.

Understanding the new possibilities for software—and what principles are applied in creating it—is the foundation for understanding the future of eCommerce. It is also the foundation for taking advantage of eCommerce 2.0 principles and the new trends they drive. The Six Principles of eCommerce 2.0 Just as Web 2.0 is altering the software development landscape, the principles of eCommerce 2.0 will define how eTailers do business online.
