Online Holiday Shopping Going Strong
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 12:00 PM
"Even as a Commerce Department report put coal in the nation's economic stocking by showing a 3.1 percent month-over-month decrease in orders for durable goods for the month of November, two market research firms and e-tailing giant Amazon.com confirmed earlier data suggesting it was a record year for online holiday sales. Amazon called this its busiest holiday season yet and reported selling 2.1 million items in a single day--or 24 units per second--though it declined to say which day. The company considers the holiday season the period between Nov. 1 and Dec. 25."
I'm a huge fan of online shopping, and I prefer that nowadays to most brick-and-mortar stores, although I still haven't managed to get myself to buy clothes online. ;) In any case, I'm curious how many of you did (some or all of) your holiday shopping using online etailers.
