EcommerceTrends wrote an interesting post about the frequency of customers shopping and buying things online. It was noted that the majority (83%) of consumers shop online at least once a week, according to a new study by Compete.

What do most consumers search for? They are looking for retailers on Facebook and Twitter in growing numbers, 31 percent report checking out Facebook fan pages or Twitter feeds of retailers, almost twice as many people as in Q3 2009.

Research indicates that over the next six months, the “most shopped” products online will be entertainment related, including movies, music, video games, e-media and books.

Forty-four percent of consumers reported they research electronics online, but purchase electronics at a store, 30 percent do so with kitchen items, 28 percent with media and 28 percent prefer to research furniture online and buy it in the store.

So you see, people do buy products online and we need physical items everyday! Are you selling online yet?
