Yes, according to the 2018 Global Lifestyle Monitor, 72 percent of global respondents said they were shopping online for clothing. So the "shop" of e-commerce is definitely a critical business touchpoint in apparel around the world. As a result, global brands and retailers are moving from focusing heavily on brick-and-mortar assets to prioritizing more flexible selling points for e-commerce.Nevertheless, as customers in this always-on shopping ecosystem visit numerous fashion retail sites, brands and retailers need new ways to gain an edge in e-commerce to drive sales.
