Although Solvang Antiques closed its physical location in March, the longtime local business is not even close to closing down as its online sales increased so much the owner decided to only market that way. 

“For the last few years, our sales online have been rapidly increasing,” explains Solvang Antiques owner Dwight Steffensen. “In order to meet the demand, we are committing major resources to our e-commerce efforts. We will be moving to a smaller location with a mini showroom for private showings only.”

Solvang Antiques is in good company when it comes to selling online. In 2019, consumers in the United States spent approximately $586.92 billion on e-commerce, representing an increase of 14 percent vs. 2018 and 10.7 percent of total U.S. retail spending. In 2020, it will surpass 10 percent of total U.S. retail sales for the first time in history. By 2023, spending is expected to reach $969.70 billion.
