In a recent survey conducted by market research company Lab42, it was found that 66 percent of consumers prefer Web retailers to brick-and-mortar stores and about 73 percent of survey participants do nearly half of their shopping online.
“Shopping online allows us to skip the lines, crowds, travel expenses and the hassle of parking,” notes Mashable.
The Web can also be a great place to find bargains. Nielsen recently reported that nearly half of all U.S. smartphone owners regularly use shopping and deal apps such as eBay, Amazon, Groupon and LivingSocial.
“About 45 million smartphone owners access shopping-and-commerce apps each month,” details the post.
Lab42 created a great infographic to help visualize the data. One interesting statistic: “45 percent of online shoppers have bought something online that they would not buy in person.”
