I think I can safely say I’m seeing a trend – in the year since we started looking at how consumers spend for various holidays, online shoppers tend to be a lucrative group. Admittedly one segment of the overall population, it appears that online shoppers often outspend (sometimes even handily) consumers who don’t shop online for these occasions....
Online Mother’s Day shoppers clearly think Mom (and grandmothers and sisters, among others) rule. According to the latest NRF / Shop.org consumer survey conducted by BIGresearch earlier this month, one in five consumers celebrating Mother’s Day this year will buy some portion of their gifts for the occasion online. As I mused recently when...
Long-awaited summer is almost here – and with it, time to honor the fathers and father figures in our lives on Sunday, June 21.

With all eyes trained on the quarter in progress and the full year ahead, the first of the new year’s bigger shopping holidays – Valentine’s Day – is a scant two weeks away.

Every July, I am reminded how busy this time of year is for retailers – it’s the season of July sales, planning for the upcoming holiday season, launching fall merchandise, and, in tandem with the last, kicking off back to school.

December 18 is the magic date for many online consumers this year — I just hope they know it.
