The Evolution of Online Advertising Technology - More Targeting, Less Privacy (Part One)

Consumers Plan to Spend Slightly More Online

Consumers intend to spend less in stores this holiday season than last year, but slightly more online, according to a The Conference Board and TNS report. The Consumer Internet Barometer, a quarterly report produced by The Conference Board and TNS, surveys 10,000 households across the country and tracks who's doing what on the Internet. "Free shipping, exclusive online deals, coupons and discounts are among the incentives consumers will be expecting this season," said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. The report found that bargain hunting will remain the driving force behind online sales. Online households planning to spend more than $500 in stores declined to 16 percent from 21 percent last year. Those planning to spend more than $500 online rose to 5 percent from 4 percent last season.

New growth pains for online shopping

A few years ago, online shopping began to boom as the increasing number of broadband connections and better understanding of online security issues sent more and more people online to make purchases. Now, however, the online boom is finally starting to slow, with year-to-year growth having dipped to single digits. That's in part the result of the slowing of the economy but also a factor is a new generation of internet shoppers with expectations that are actually ahead of what some sites can deliver. Web sites’ relationship with customers has become a key part of online shopping, says a new report from eMarketer, and consumers’ expectations have risen as sites look to add features like video capabilities, 3-D displays and virtual dressing rooms.
