That's the question that researcher ForeSee Results asked more than 9,000 holiday shoppers to find which retailers provide the most satisfying shopping.

In the results, those who shopped online gave their experience an average satisfaction rating of 90, while offline retail shopping received an average rating of 72. I guess even holiday shipping delays are preferable to the mad, chaotic rush of retail shopping on black Friday. http://www.itworld.com/business/59991/online-shoppers-satisfied-survey-shows#comments Business Research ecommerce experience online shopping retail Wed, 31 Dec 2008 13:43:49 -0500 ITworld staff 59991 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/59323/social-networks-change-online-retail-game Tips for adding a social networking component to your online retail store. http://www.itworld.com/internet/59323/social-networks-change-online-retail-game#comments Internet Small business Tip retail social networking Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:44:27 -0500 Volusion 59323 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business/57922/geeks-your-service-secret-best-buys-success Great in-store customer service is important, but excellent customer service after you leave, well that stands apart from the crowd.
