I monitor the ecommerce industry regularly, and on a weekly basis Comscore sends out ecommerce sales data. Comscore is measuring sales for a week versus the corresponding week a year ago, and the trend over the last few months has been strong. Sales have typically been up 20-30% over the last 3 months. Use these numbers as your benchmark, and if your sales aren’t up 20-30% over the same time period last year, perhaps it’s time to evaluate why.
