According to Stats Canada:
"Among those Canadians aged 16 and over who used the Internet in 2007, 44% made an online order" Stats Canada
This means, if you are not selling your goods online, maybe you should think about it. Even if you are not selling your product directly online, your website needs to support online research:
"For many Canadians, the Internet has become a supplement to traditional retail shopping more than a substitute.
In 2007, 43% of Canadians logged on to do research on products, or to "window shop." Of these window shoppers, a majority (64%) reported that they had subsequently made a purchase directly from a store.
The most popular items for browsing were consumer electronics, such as cameras and VCRs; housewares, such as large appliances and furniture; and clothing, jewellery and accessories" Stats Canada
