Consumers have spoken, and they say they’re more likely to shop online today instead of in stores. Solvang Antiques is listening. The proof is that after more than 43 years selling the finest antiques, vintage and estate items out of its showroom in Solvang, California, the store is now selling exclusively online.
“For the last few years, our sales online have been rapidly increasing,” explains Solvang Antiques owner, Dwight Steffensen. “In order to meet the demand, we are committing major resources to our e-commerce efforts. We will be moving to a smaller location with a mini showroom for private showings only.”
Solvang Antiques is in good company when it comes to selling online. In 2019, consumers in the United States spent approximately $586.92 billion on e-commerce, representing an increase of 14.0% vs. 2018 and 10.7% of total US retail spending. In 2020, it will surpass 10% of total U.S. retail sales for the first time in history. By 2023, spending will reach $969.70 billion.
