They prefer phones to tablets and computers and that makes sense, since everybody has a smartphone nowadays. Demandware’s study shows that phones are the only device that registered a gain in online shopping traffic. They stand for 119% of the growth in website visits to shopping sites, while tablets and PCs are down 1% and 19% respectively when it comes to shopping on the web.
