Internet Retailer: Online retail sales up 32% week ending Sept. 19, comScore reports

E-commerce got a boost in the latter part of September, with the week ending September 19 showing online retail sales increases of almost a third over the same period in 2003. The recent spate of good sales reports comes after a few months of slow to flat growth. comScore reported that sales hit $1.22 billion, up 32 percent. That compares rather favorably to general retail sales, which grew only 13 percent, according to ShopperTrak. Travel spending online grew 22 percent, continuing its long-standing growth trend.
