Overall, PFSweb’s North American CPG, luxury, cosmetic and apparel E2E DTC clients’ brand sites also reported strong same-store-order volumes compared to the similar period last year, including a 69% increase in total number of customer orders, an 85% increase in total items ordered, a 53% increase in total number of visitor sessions and a 45% increase in new visitors. Same-store-sales data includes data from the CPG, luxury, cosmetic and apparel E2E DTC clients’ brand eCommerce sites that were in operation during the 2011 and the 2012 Holiday Shopping Season and supported by PFSweb during both periods.

“The holiday shopping season has become a major event for PFSweb’s clients as more shoppers go online to take advantage of Internet-only promotions, cross-channel offers and special events to buy gifts for their friends and family. These promotional activities drive significant customer traffic and sales to our clients’ eCommerce sites,” said Mike Willoughby, President of PFSweb. “As we expected and planned for in our operational plans and financial forecasts, this U.S. holiday online retail season is showing marked improvement over last year and I believe our clients are benefitting from the year over year macro growth in online sales. I am very pleased with the performance of our End2End eCommerce solution infrastructure over the past two weeks. It is gratifying to see the infrastructure and technology investments we have made this year produce tangible operation benefits for us and our clients as we scale our solution to help our clients capitalize on the sales opportunities of the season.”
