Clearly Contacts throws its money behind shoe retailer

...........................With Mr. Hardy’s investment, ShoeMe.ca has now set up shop in Coastal Contacts’ first Vancouver office, and it recently added a distribution centre in Toronto. In October, ShoeMe.ca’s sales of new, in-season shoes and boots from its vendors hit $550,000. There are now 130 brands on ShoeMe.ca, including Nine West, Sketchers and Clarks.

..........................The goal is for ShoeMe.ca to ride the rising tide of e-commerce in Canada. In 2012, Canadians ordered $18.9-billion worth of goods and services online, according to Statistics Canada. That could swell to $34-billion, or 10 per cent of total retail transactions in Canada, according to Forrester Research Inc.
