So is Monday November 27th going to be the biggest online shopping day this year? Nope. The peak online shopping days last year were from December 5 to the 15. The biggest shopping day in 2005 for eCommerce was December the 12th. Cyber Monday was just designed by Shop.org to get online retailers excited and it marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season online.
According to an article over at <a target="_new" href="http://www.ecommercetrends.com/ecommercetrends-56-20061110MondayCyberMonday.html">eCommerceTrends</a> <strong>most shoppers on Cyber Monday will be shopping from work</strong>, much to the chagrin of their employers. The most popular products online last Holiday season were <strong>jewelry, consumer electronics, gourmet food, furniture and home decor</strong>. Let's see what happens this year.
Happy selling! ;-)
