RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ChannelAdvisor Corporation (NYSE: ECOM), a leading provider of cloud-based e-commerce solutions that enable brands and retailers to increase global sales, today released results from a new consumer survey of more than one thousand active shoppers in the US. The nationwide survey, fielded by Dynata on August 24, 2020, indicates significant shifts in online shopping behavior among purchase-ready consumers across all age groups and genders during the pandemic. ChannelAdvisor will present the survey findings in a new webinar planned for September 29, 2020, at 11 a.m. EDT.

In collaboration with Dynata, ChannelAdvisor conducted a baseline consumer survey in April 2020. Over 1,000 shoppers in the US participated in the study, which, in addition to highlighting their shift toward online shopping, helped track the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on brands and retailers. ChannelAdvisor replicated the survey in August and captured new insights into how and where consumers in the US are shopping; when they expect to accelerate spending for the holiday season; and expectations for future shopping habits.

Some of the study's key findings include:
