These days, 73% of consumers say they are “comfortable” buying a new brand online
And most importantly, 40.1% of consumers say they are “highly likely” to continue to shop online even after retail stores reopen
It’s not just shopping that has become an online necessity, we’ve relied on the internet for our social lives too.
