E-commerce sales are on the rise and expected to continue growing over the next several years. That’s the conclusion of a recent Forrester study. Total e-commerce sales in 2013 reached $262 billion, a 13% increase over the previous year.  Forrester predicts e-commerce will grow by an additional 10% annually for the next five years.

What shoppers like about these sites includes affordable pricing, simple navigation, easy checkout, free shipping and useful product reviews, among other qualities.
