Can you really sell products over the holidays through social media? This collection of holiday shopping statistics provides a look into how customers like to shop through social media.
Personally, I believe that a lot of users use social media channels to do their holiday shopping.
This collection of holiday shopping statistics can help to give you a better idea on what channels you should consider using to sell products through social media.
Remember, you want to be sure to always ask your audience what they prefer. If you try selling products through one social media channel and you don’t have a strong presence and your customers don’t use the site much, don’t expect strong holiday sales figures.
So where are most users doing their holiday shopping at? Is it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or another social media channel? Let’s find out.
