Marketing analytics firm Custora says US ecommerce sales were up eight percent this January over January 2013.
While combined offline and online transactions were down 0.4 percent last month compared to a year ago, Custora claims January was a strong month for ecommerce, with a 6 percent increase in traffic to ecommerce stores.
Based on ecommerce transactions from over 100 retailers and 70 million shoppers, Custora’s data also revealed a slight increase in the average conversion rate last month, holding at 2.2 percent compared to 2.1 percent in January 2013.
Mobile accounted for a third of January’s online transactions according to Custora. The company’s data revealed 20 percent of online orders occurred on an Android device, up 6 percent from last January when 14 percent of orders were made on an Android.
