Online Holiday Sales Are Expected to Rise Sharply

Posted by TimSlavin at October 1, 2005

" eMarketer predicts that this will be the largest online holiday shopping season ever.

With the crucial holiday shopping season about to begin, there are ominous economic signs on the horizon. High oil prices, a negative personal saving rate and a dip in consumer confidence could cause consumers to tighten their purse strings. In addition, the effects of Hurricane Katrina are still unclear.

Nevertheless, online holiday shopping should continue to log impressive gains. eMarketer forecasts that online sales for the fourth quarter will be $26.2 billion, up 21.9% over last year."
