Online shift of consumer (how important for a business to be online)


  

In the US, most adult consumers still prefer to shop in physical stores instead of online. This is according to a study conducted by Walker Sands Communications.

As the survey was conducted prior to the pandemic, the data omits pandemic impacts to consumer behaviour; which proves that ideally, the consumer will prefer a shop experience. 


Over 80% of the respondents said they've bought a product from a physical store within the past year. Another 41% said they've bought online. Most consumers would be more likely to shop for a product if it offered free shipping.


 

Buying online is still crucial as the consumer is still inclined to buy online; which could sometimes only be an isolated buying instance. Hence the online presence with a direct value of online buying would aid retailers in performing the business.
