E-Commerce Marketing is Essential for Most Retail Businesses
E-commerce has revolutionized the way retail companies are doing business. With the increase in demand for online purchasing, many businesses are transitioning from brick and mortar stores to e-stores. According to the Statista, a site that researches online statistics, retail e-commerce sales worldwide are forecasted to nearly double between 2016 and 2020. In one of their 2017 surveys, it was found that 40 percent of internet users in the United States stated that they purchased items online several times per month and 20 percent said they bought items or services online on a weekly basis. This unstoppable trend in consumer behavior means that even companies who are already selling products or services online must prepare and plan for this growth. Strategic Marketing can help your business plan to start or grow its e-commerce marketing.
