By now, both offline and online retailers have seen the writing on the wall: the continued emergence of new technologies (particularly in the mobile space), as well as new digital commerce channels and platforms have lead Ecommerce growth to far outpace that of brick-and-mortar stores.
While it’s unlikely that online shopping will overtake offline shopping anytime soon, the fact that Ecommerce growth continues to gobble up percentages of total purchases made sends a strong signal to just about anyone with something to sell: make your products available for purchase online, or fall behind.
