http://www.itworld.com/online-shopping xx http://www.itworld.com/business/59991/online-shoppers-satisfied-survey-shows Were you satisfied with your holiday shopping experience? That's the question that researcher ForeSee Results asked more than 9,000 holiday shoppers to find which retailers provide the most satisfying shopping. Retailers were graded on a 1-100 scale with 100 the most satisfied. 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/business/59968/us-holiday-online-sales-fell-3-percent ComScore said U.S. online spending during this year's holiday season fell 3 percent, the first year-over-year drop since it began tracking e-commerce in 2001. http://www.itworld.com/business/59968/us-holiday-online-sales-fell-3-percent#comments Business Internet News ecommerce holiday sales online shopping Wed, 31 Dec 2008 09:31:51 -0500 ITworld staff 59968 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/59770/e-commerce-has-good-weekend-remains-down Online spending was up this past weekend, but overall remains lower than last year, comScore finds. http://www.itworld.com/internet/59770/e-commerce-has-good-weekend-remains-down#comments Business Internet News ecommerce online shopping ratail Wed, 24 Dec 2008 10:47:08 -0500 ITworld staff 59770 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business/58556/e-tailers-face-tough-holiday-shopping-season The holiday shopping season, which retailers rely on to bring joy to their bottom lines, resembles a nightmare this year. http://www.itworld.com/business/58556/e-tailers-face-tough-holiday-shopping-season#comments Business Tech & society Feature etailers online shopping Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:52:49 -0500 ITworld staff 58556 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/58554/how-use-technology-maximize-bargain-hunting http://www.itworld.com/internet/58554/how-use-technology-maximize-bargain-hunting#comments Business Internet How-to ecommerce online shopping Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:40:30 -0500 ITworld staff 58554 at http://www.itworld.com
