(Newswire.net — February 11, 2016) —
Last Black Friday, it was reported that customers spent about $4.45 billion shopping online, out of which 57% of the customers shopped through their mobile phones and tablets.
Following the same pattern, China’s Singles Day sales, organized by ecommerce giant Alibaba broke all records. The website reported sales of $14.3 billion.
These statistics prove one thing – people are moving more towards online shopping than offline. While 60% of Americans are glad to know that they don’t have to search through lanes in a mall for a single thing, 71% of the shoppers believe that they will find better deals online and we really couldn’t agree more.
