SE05 EP15: Klaviyo Data Insights: eCommerce is Witnessing Explosive Growth

When I heard that eCommerce Sales were up by 30% in the last six weeks compared to the previous six weeks, I couldn't help but want to know how and why this has happened. 

Given that we are in the middle of a pandemic and hardly any country is back to normal, how has the ecommerce industry thrived amid the closure of bricks and mortar retail and Amazon not operating at full capacity?

Well, according to Klaviyo's insights, e-tailers' seem to have seized the opportunity to serve a continuously surging customer-demand for specific products that align with consumers' hierarchy of needs. 

My interview with Jake Cohen, Head Of Product Marketing at Klaviyo is a must-listen if you would like to understand better categories in ecommerce currently thriving (there are some surprises) as well understand how to make the best use of this unique opportunity. 

Jake explains that Klaviyo have a customer-base of 100,000 e-commerce stores, 

30,000 of which are paying customers.

They selected 19,000 stores from their cohort of paying customers that were in business all through 2019 as well as 2020 and have been able to deliver their highly detailed 'Coronavirus Ecommerce Insights'. 

Klaviyo have also been running a daily ecommerce brand and customer survey to get a sentiment and pulse.
