 Statistics derived from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate e-commerce will increase 62% by 2016; and with online shoppers already spending $226 billion this year, retail store shopping could soon become obsolete.With e-commerce on the rise, consumers will have the ability to choose whatever brands they want, and with consumer trends moving more towards purchasing products from socially responsible companies, the profit margins could experience substantial changes.For instance, "The Social Responsibility Journal" recently performed a research study concerning consumers' perception of companies who participate in corporate social responsibility.
