100,000 visit Belgian Post online shop since May 2005

The online shop of the Belgian postal service company De Post/La Poste has attracted 100,000 visitors since its launch in May 2005, Francois Dorrekens, spokesman of the company, said on December 7, 2005.

The visitors who made a purchase spent between 70 euro (USD81.9) and 80 euro (USD93.6) on average, with stamps being the most preferred item, Dorrekens added. However, he did not reveal the total sales generated by the shop.

According to Dorrekens, due to the higher-than-expected number of visitors of the online shop, it might expand its service range in the future, as several new projects are currently being under review.

The online shop offers some 100 products, including stamps and post cards.
