Only 94 Online Shopping Days…
// September 21st, 2008 // e-commerce
until Christmas! The reminder of how many shopping days that were left appeared in a number of online e-commerce stories to emphasize the fact that Christmas starts earlier every year online and that the countdown to 2008 has already begun.
At a recent event the Google Keynote highlighted that Google Trends data led them to believe that September 15th was the date that Christmas 2007 started online. That seems to have been beaten this year with Internet Retailing reporting that MyVoucherCodes.co.uk saw 47% of it’s traffic over the weekend of the 13th-14th September coming from Christmas Gifting related terms.
As a response to this surge in gifting related terms MyVoucherCodes.co.uk have put live their Christmas Deals and Discounts page, which even at this time is well populated with promotional offers from a wide range of retailers. So, if you’re not in the middle of preparing the go live for Christmas 2008 online, it’s probably worth starting soon!
