Online Shopping Habits Changed
Have you ever wondered when most people shop online? Are there days busier than others?
Here are some stats:
54% higher consumption of online shopping materials on Mondays;
32% higher consumption on Tuesdays – now makes Tuesday the second higher search day;
Online shopping on a Thursday and Friday is down a combined 31%; however,
Weekends still remain the most popular time for tracking down a good bargain.
Learning buyer shopping habits is important when planning a sale or rolling out new items. Whether you're a maker or retailer, it's essential to know as much as possible about your customers as you build a plan for your business.
