Retail Insider recently published a feature on how a recent retail report based on ClickSpend™ powered by J.C. Williams Group, which indicates there can be major differences in the concentration of online shoppers even within a specific market area.

There’s certain types of categories where ecommerce is strong in certain segments of the city,” said Michele Sexsmith, Senior Vice President and Practice Leader. “There’s 14 different categories of expenditures that we’ve been able to provide the online and the offline spend.
