Did you know 68% of retail sales this year were decided online?
And Michael Burgess, President of HBC Digital at Hudson’s Bay Company, which operates such prestigious outlets as Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, said “it’s rapidly moving towards influencing 100% of retail sales.“
Here are some other eye-opening stats from his presentation at the 2015 CDO Summit held at Thomson Reuters in New York City, “Key Digital Trends in Omni-Channel Retail“:
• Online retail accounts for +35% of all retail growth in 2014
• 84% of shoppers used digital as part of their shopping journey
• 79% of smartphone users used their phone for mall and store shopping (in 2011!)
• 86% of consumers will pay up to 25% more for a personalized customer experience
Burgess outlined 5 key retail trends every Chief Digital Officer should understand. With the era of 100% web-based consumer decisions approaching, no organization can afford to ignore them.
