A QUICK
WORD
The holiday season in North America is marked in every retailers calendar as the most
important time of the year. In fact, the term Black Friday was originally used to mark
the date when a retailers financial statements finally showed profitability - 11 months
into the year!
At Demac, we spend a significant part of our year preparing our retailers for this allimportant season; from ensuring servers are ready to meet traffic demands to the
timing of promotional material sent to new and existing customers. Growing from the
strength we built in Q4, we are entering 2016 galvanized with the optimism of our
retail customers and technology partners.
An opportunity trend to continue tracking is the rise of mobile commerce. In this
report, we see evidence of its growth and how it is affecting the traditional path to
purchase. It also drives us to meet the growing expectations of shoppers for a more
consistent, personalized, and convenient shopping experience.
Economic conditions and evolving consumer preferences will continue to challenge us
in the year ahead, but we are focused on another banner year in digital commerce.

Key to a successful multi-device strategy is to understand the difference
in customer expectations for each platform. Here, we see that mobile is
used heavily for research but consumers still prefer to complete online
transactions on desktop computers.
