Dpgsom,
According to Nielsen//NetRatings MegaView Online Retail report, the
average order size for online apparel retailers is $44.68. The study
also found that for every dollar spent online, the average
Web-to-store shopper spends $1.60 offline at local retailers.
Therefore, the average purchase size at off-line apparel retailers can
be calculated at $71.48.

The $1.60 offline to online ratio does not necessarily apply equally
among all product categories (ie apparel and electronics). I would
like a specific metric for offline average order size, that is
specific to the apparel industry.
Thanks

Dear Dpgsom,
I have been researching your question for most of the day and I've
only been able to locate not so recent figures. I found recent numbers
for specific stores as well.
?For every dollar spent on apparel online, consumers who visited
online apparel sites spent $2.92 purchasing apparel from catalogs or
bricks and mortar stores.?

Hi Bobbie,
Thanks for your efforts thus far. I really need an exact Figure like
the one from Inc.com -- but the data needs to be recent. I can be a
little more flexible on the date range that would be acceptable. Any
Industry average order size after 2001 will work.
Thanks,
David

Dear David,
I will continue to search; however I am not very optimistic. I did
over six hours of research on Tuesday. Yesterday I tried to find more
information for over two hours without any luck. I'll resume my
search and hopefully I will discover more numbers for you.
Thank you for your patience,
Sincerely,
Bobbie7

David,
I did extensive research and unfortunately, I did not find more recent numbers.
In any case I hope these figures are helpful.
