What you didn’t know about… Canada

For Teezily sellers in search of new growth opportunities: America’s northern neighbor presents a wealth of untapped potential. After a slow start, Canadian customers are turning to online shopping now that domestic and foreign marketers are making e-commerce more attractive and convenient. 



 

With a bilingual population, Canada represents the perfect target for both your French and English designs! Did you know that Canadians actually visit more webpages than their US neighbors and spend nearly as much time on the web in general? Forrester projects that in 2019, online spending will account for 10% of Canadian retail spending, pulling it nearly equal (on a percentage basis), with 11% expected in the United States.

 

Two important notes:

 

Shipping Fees


Canadian shipping costs are significant and it is the reason for the slow development of e-commerce in Canada, as transportation costs are a percentage of the sales. Luckily, Teezily offers the lowest shipping rates to North America! :) Your campaigns will be super attractive!


International Shopping


In 2012, Statistics Canada stated that nearly 60% of the money that Canadians spent online in 2012 was on sellers outside of the country. That means that Canadian customers are not afraid of buying from international companies / e-shops!
