E-Commerce For A Jittery Public
from the what-to-do... dept
It seems that online retailers are getting ready to deal with a nervous public. Many expect online sales to go up this holiday season as people don't want to be out in crowded public places. Also, many people may cut down on travel, and the associated bringing of gifts. So, instead, they may just go to an online store and have their gifts shipped to relatives. I'm sure that no matter what happens, there will be plenty of articles explaining to us all why whatever happened happened.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
