More than 45% of luxury purchases are influenced by what shoppers find in
the digital universe;
Over 59% of visits come from smartphones and tablets (41% come from

The largest share of visitors to luxury brand sites are age 55+ but much

Social media accounts for nearly 7% of traffic to luxury brands, with the
majority coming from Facebook (search engines and social media are the
two most important traffic sources. Third source is email);
