Outlook mixed for online sales despite Cyber Monday promotions: related news

Outlook mixed for online sales despite Cyber Monday promotions

Online retailers kicked off the holiday shopping season this week — many of them with special prices and promotions for "Cyber Monday" — while taking some comfort in figures that showed a slight uptick in e-commerce started over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Online Holiday Shopping Season Down, Cyber Monday Up

Research firm ComScore said sales were up 15 percent on Cyber Monday compared to a year ago, but sales were down for the holiday season as a whole. ComScore reported its tracking of holiday season retail ecommerce spending for the first 31 days of the November - December 2008 holiday season. For the holiday season-to-date, $12.03 billion has been spent online, marking a 2 percent decline versus the corresponding days last year. However, Cyber Monday saw $846 million in online spending, up 15 percent. The four-day period from Black Friday through Cyber Monday saw ecommerce spending jump 13 percent as both weekend days and Monday all achieved double-digit gains.

Amazon, eBay and other online retailers take hit on 'Cyber Monday' fears

Shares of eBay Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and other online retailers fell on "Cyber Monday" yesterday as analysts worried that deep discounts from traditional retailers may have stolen the thunder from their online-only rivals, known for lower pricing. Shopping traffic online typically rises on the Monday after the U. S. Thanksgiving holiday, as consumers seek better bargains than they found in brick-and-mortar stores over the weekend. But this year's Cyber Monday was expected to be somewhat muted, because worried retailers were already advertising deep discounts online and in stores even before the U. S. Thanksgiving weekend. Ebay shares closed down US90¢, or 4.8%, at US$12.23, while Amazon's stock was off US$2.23, about 2.2%, at US$40.47. Forrester Research expects Web sales to increase about 12% for the holiday shopping season in November
