Chart: Online Retail Destinations on Black Friday

Nov 28, 2007  •  Post A Comment

Shopping was the talk of the Internet on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that marks the beginning of the Christmas gift-buying season. According to Nielsen Online, traffic to Internet shopping sites grew 10%, registering 21.2 million unique visitors. Consumers discussed what to buy and where, and speculated about how crowded stores would be. A big online topic was the deals being offered by retailers to get shoppers in the door as soon as possible.
“Consumers were clearly inspired by this year’s shopping incentives, particularly in relation to consumer electronics,” said Kate Niederhoffer, director of research methodology at Nielsen Online. “Naturally, discounts, deals and specials characterize Black Friday discussion, but one of the more interesting aspects of the overall discussion was a detailed conversation on plans to purchase specific electronic products and brands, such as plasma TVs and Nintendo Wiis.”
The following chart shows the top retail destination sites on Black Friday, and the growth from the previous week.

  9. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  12. The new Zune browser is surpr isingly excellent, but not as excellent as the iPod is. It operates very well, but is notas swiftly as Safari, and features a clunkier interface. Should you occasionally strategy on making use of the internet browser that isn’t an difficulty, but if you??? re planning to browse the internet alot out of your PMP then the iPod is larger screen and much better browser could be critical.
