The eCommerce trends of 2014 proved to be fruitful. Concepts like omnichannel strategies have helped global eCommerce sales hit a record high of $1.3 trillion. According to Google, 85% of online consumers begin a purchase on one device but finish on another. As a result, 8% of retailers are now planning to add a Chief Omnichannel Officer to their companies. Other eCommerce trends, like flexible delivery and mobile payment apps, have enabled shoppers to buy online. Overall, 2014 was a very good year.
