The vast majority of U.S. Internet users prefer to use more than one channel [computer, mobile device, in-store, etc.] to research and purchase products and services, according to a survey from ATG and MarketTools.
Almost half of the people said they use two channels when shopping for products and services and 24% said they use three or more.
One of the main points from this survey showed that the Internet was used as a research tool. The Internet accounts for only 7.7% of total retail sales, but online research was used in 42% of sales, according to the new study “U.S. Online Retail Forecast, 2009 to 2014.”
Internet users said they were more likely ot make a purchase in-store at least once a week, but they browsed and researched online.
