CenturyLinkQuote found Etsy the most searched online store in the nation
With people nationwide using online shopping more than ever in the last year, CenturyLinkQuote has examined, which online-only shopping stores Americans search for most.
The team analyzed Google search volume data and found that Etsy, a small business holy grail, is the second most searched online store in the nation. In 2020, over 4.3 million sellers sold goods through Etsy, and the platform earned a total revenue of $1.7 billion U.S. dollars. Etsy, which bought fashion resale giant Depop in June, is known for selling handmade and vintage items, with 97% of sellers saying that they run their businesses from home. Some of the website’s best selling products in 2021 include: a women’s necklace, custom dog portraits and men’s lingerie.
Furthermore, CentruyLinkQuote has found, which company secured the first place spot. It was Amazon, with 34% of the U.S. searching for the e-commerce giant most. The store was recently named the world’s largest retailer outside of China, surpassing Walmart in terms of sales for the first time ever.
