|   US e-commerce sales rise 9.3% in Q2. Digital sales hit $211.70 billion in Q2 of this year, up ONLY 9.3% from Q2 of 2020. Did you know that a 9.3% increase is considered modest? Q3 and Q4 of 2020 and Q1 of 2021 had growth in the 30-40% range. It’s the first quarterly comparison of two pandemic era quarters. Nearly $1 in every $5 spent on retail purchases came from an online order – with 18.6% coming from digital orders, representing a slight dip from 20.3% during Q2 of 2020. What would you guess your % of online vs. in-store retail purchases is? Ship Smarter.
