Blink:
Yesterday I went downstairs to ask my
doorman José a question. I could not
find him. José was buried under an
avalanche of delivered packages at the front desk. 2014 online holiday shopping is already on
the march to break some new records.
Read On:
Forrester Research released earlier this week that they project
U.S. online sales will reach $89 billion in November and December. That represents a 13 percent increase versus
last year, an estimated increase of $10 billion in absolute dollars. Note: These figures for the two months will represent 30 percent of all
2014 eCommerce spending, but also have been adjusted for a shorter holiday
selling season and delivery capacity constraints.
Good news for FedEx and UPS route drivers, branded Retailers that
have beefed up their online marketing movements, etc., etc. etc. Bad news for the restaurant industry if
people are not going out to brick & mortar to shop, thus stopping at their favorite
restaurants for a bite to eat or drinks.
Happy
online shopping!
