The days of the brick and mortar business are in the past. Now, more and more online businesses are popping up every day. It’s no wonder so many business owners are jumping on this trend with so many shoppers opting to make purchases online instead of in store. Statista.com claims just about 40% of American shoppers choose to shop online several times per month. These numbers are hard to ignore!
