Internet Sales Record Holiday Set |
|
 It seems this year that online retailers saw a significant spike in sales online on “Cyber Monday” this year spending $733 million making it the first time a single day of online retail spending broke the $700 million threshold. That makes it a 17-percent gain from last year’s totals and an 84-percent increase from normal daily online spending from the four previous weeks.
With the internet being the choice of the future for consumers during the holiday season, we saw a 38-percent increase in the number of people shopping online. Also, more people visited online retailers on Cyber Monday (32.5 million) than stores on Black Friday (28.8 million). |

 From browsing to buying, the Internet plays a larger role than ever in holiday shopping. Shoppers, who are expected to spend at least $791.10 each this year on holiday merchandise, will use the Internet for an average of one-fourth (28.9%) of their shopping.

According to the survey, most consumers (88.7%) regularly or occasionally examine products on the Internet before buying in a store. |

We might say shoppers are saving two critical life elements - time and money - by spending some pre-shopping time online.
