Walmart's online gains for the fourth quarter were reported as 8 percent, closer to the National Retail Federation reports of 9 percent increases for the US retail industry overall.With 34 percent growth in its digital sales during the 2015 fourth-quarter holiday season, Target shows that it is gaining momentum in its attempt to establish itself as a more serious player in the e-commerce category. The big-box retailer is likely to respond by establishing a stronger foothold in e-commerce sales as a way to stay competitive and responsive to customer demand. As reported in the Washington Post, the growth accounted for just 5 percent of Target's total sales for the fourth quarter, but nearly doubled the 2.7 percent share of their online sales for the spring 2015 quarter. \"Consumers in the US and worldwide are increasingly seeking more efficient ways to get products and services from the retailers they trust, \"said CloudCommerce CEO Andrew Van Noy. \"This new report from Target demonstrates that the e-commerce industry is gaining momentum, and further validates our company's growth strategy and plans to help our customers successfully compete in the rapidly growing e-commerce arena.\" \n About CloudCommerce\n CloudCommerce, Inc.
