MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse reported a 16.1 percent increase in ecommerce in March 2011, explaining that high fuel prices could be the reason why luxury buyers are more inclined to buy online.
The SpendingPulse study measured total apparel, footwear, furniture and ecommerce behavior. The findings are indicative of the current mindset of the typical buyer.
