Although we’re probably more widely known for our high street and out of town stores, our online presence is an integral part of our business and becoming increasingly more so as we look to the future.

Take Argos for instance. As one of the UK’s most well-known retailers, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that our website is consistently in the UK’s top three most visited and gets even busier during the run up to Christmas. Not only can customers buy items for home delivery, they can also check the latest prices and real time stock levels, and are able to reserve items for payment and collection at a local store. It’s all part of the multi-channel retail strategy that underlines our commitment to providing customers with the most convenient shopping experience. It’s an approach that’s definitely working. Retail Week has voted Argos ‘Multi-Channel Retailer of the Year’ on three occasions, firmly putting us on the map as a market leader in eCommerce.

Homebase.co.uk is a more recent development, proving highly successful . The site offers thousands of products for purchase online. But that’s not all. In order to make the customer experience even more inviting, we have included other elements as well. There’s an inspirational ‘Feature Zone’ offering the latest ideas in home and garden décor, as well as How-to Guides giving simple to follow, practical DIY advice plus comprehensive Buying Guides that make choosing the right product easier.
