What Thanksgiving Means to Online Sellers
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has been deemed as one of the largest shopping days of the year. On Black Friday in 2006, comScore reported that e-commerce spending was up 42 percent over the same day during the year prior. According to comScore networks, the week before Thanksgiving also marked increased sales in 2006, with a 30 percent increase from that same time period during 2005. The Monday after Black Friday, Cyber Monday, is another big day for ecommerce spending as people make their way back to their work computers to start their holiday online shopping. It’s likely that traffic and sales will continue to increase during these times over the years, as both retailers and shoppers are now more aware of these big shopping days. Retailers often increase their sales and specials during this time, while shoppers hit the mouse to seek out these targeted savings. Stay on top of this holiday season by preparing your site for a possible increase in traffic, and offer sales and savings to entice that traffic to stop and make a purchase on your site!

What Halloween Means to Online Sellers
According to OneUpWeb’s study 2006 Holiday Online Retail Buying Trends, consumers start thinking about the holidays in October, which marks the start of the long tail holiday season. Regarding the Halloween season, the study also states, “Halloween is a good milestone to keep in mind. All data points make a significant jump during the final week of October and stay above that level through the peak sales weeks of the holiday season. While customers may not be motivated to begin holiday shopping in brick-and-mortar stores as early as the final week of October, online they are thinking about it and searching. There are conversions to be had for companies ready to greet those searchers and take advantage of the Long Tail.” In regards to the holidays, the study goes on to say, “Cyber Monday lived up to expectations, marking high traffic and conversion rates, and extraordinary sales levels. It did not mark in the start of the holiday buying season, as Halloween is a more appropriate marker of the holiday season launch date.” So treat (don’t trick) yourself this Halloween by having your online store braced and ready for another record breaking holiday season!
