Daily Facts - Day #23: The growth of ecommerce is out of this world!

Today I'll share with you 10 hair-raising ecommerce stats. Here they are ...

1. Amazon accounted for 44% of all U.S. ecommerce sales!

2. U.S. shoppers spent $5 billion online during 2017’s black Friday!

3. 96% of Americans have made an online purchase in their life!

6. Americans spend 64% of their shopping budget in-store, and 36% online.

7. 88% of shoppers characterize detailed product content as being extremely important to their purchasing decisions.

8. 38% of people will leave a website if they find the layout unattractive!

9. Ecommerce is growing 23% year-over-year, yet 46% of American small businesses do not have a website!

10. More than three-quarters of online shoppers would like their orders shipped the same day!

Personally, I think that the above stats are literally intimidating.

And I'm pretty sure that such figures can - and most likely will - skyrocket our avidity ...

Which can be a good motivator ... But, never forget ...

Consumers are statistics, customers are people!
