"The overall shift from offline to online commerce is still in its early days, but it's real," said Corey Pierson, CEO, Custora. "Though US retail on the whole is not growing this holiday season, online commerce is growing at an impressive rate, with Cyber Monday growth peaking at a healthy 18% sales growth vs 2012".
The Pulse is based on Custora’s analysis of over 70 million online shoppers and over $10 billion in e-commerce revenue across over 100 US-based online retailers.
Other notable e-commerce Cyber Monday trends:
- One in three purchases was done on mobile devices (phones and tablets) on Cyber Monday.
