Online Holiday Buying Happens During The Week
from the wonder-why... dept
It turns out that holiday shopping online occurs during the week. Over the weekend, shoppers go to the mall. I would guess that a lot of that holiday shopping occurs from workplace computers with faster connections, which could explain some of the reasons for weekday shopping. The study also points out (obviously) that holiday shopping online slowdowns in mid-December once people get scared the packages won't show up in time.
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
