UK indie retailer ShopTo.Net is one of the most well known online gaming retailers and are well loved by locals here too, who regularly quote their prices on local forums. ShopTo has recorded their single biggest weekly market share for the last twelve months with in F1, Dead Rising 2 and Guitar Heroes Warriors of Rock leading the way.
This is surprising to hear though, as ChartTrack showed the market down 15.6% for the same week vs. last year; however ShopTo recorded an incredible 183% increase vs. the same week last year. Cumulative year to date is now running at +84% for ShopTo against the overall software market decrease vs. last year of -13.7%.
Igor Cipolletta, CEO of ShopTo.Net said: “We are delighted by our latest results which show our continued expansion, despite the economic climate. We have a fantastic team of people here at ShopTo who are determined to make us the number one online destination to buy video games. We have invested in new staff, state of the art warehouse technology and CRM tools that mean we can now offer unparalleled service, especially on pre-orders.”
In July, ShopTo.Net announced record turnover for their last financial year, an increase of over 60% and a trebling of their market share. Today’s announcement proves that they are well on the way to also breaking this target.
