Ecommerce Facts
While brick-and-mortar store sales still command the majority of the retail market, ecommerce sales are increasing fast and contributing favorably to retailers’ overall growth. People simply aren’t hanging out in shopping malls these days, preferring instead to shop from their PCs, laptops, iPads and smartphones, where they can browse until they find exactly what they want. Shouldn’t your business be online so they can find you?
If you’re still undecided about whether or not to take your retail business online, maybe these statistics will help:
