E-Commerce Has Hit the Mainstream

    Now, when the Wall Street Journal looks at the trend of e-commerce as a potential haymaker, the business tycoons - and those who want to be, had better stand up, and take notice.

    Just as it was, going from the telephone to the cell phone, just as it was, going from antenna television to cable TV(and now satellite), e-commerce is going to be around for a long while. In that same WSJ article, Internet sales will grow 10% per year for the next 5 years, including this one. By that time, the projected total of online retail will be close to $300 billion. More and more consumers are going online for their goods and services.

    It is no longer just a Black Friday or Cyber Monday novelty. Online shopping is quickly becoming a 12-months out of the year sport. Companies are shifting a lot of their marketing efforts towards the online trends.

    With Walmart slowly converting to same day pickups from an online order, and stores such as Best Buy and Nordstrom just trying to get their feet into the water, most of the other retail giants will soon follow suit, if they aren't already. Evolution has the 21st century, via the information age.

The Trend Is Catching On

    As the world of online shopping grows bigger and bigger, one of the heavyweights of the business world has jumped into the ring, as Microsoft has officially entered the Internet retail industry. It goes to show that the spending power of the American consumer is not going anywhere, regardless of the shape today's current economy is in.

    People are still traveling, still heading to the malls, and still buying goods and services, and now, online. Even Twitter has joined in. Too bad that none of those places pay commissions to the customer, or for their referrals.

    While companies like Microsoft are adapting, other companies are not, thus having to close their doors. Places such as Borders and Blockbuster Video have filed for Chapter 11, with a lot of others following suit. Even the giants at Best Buy have seen a 5% drop in their U.S. revenues. Times are certainly changing.

    With shopping being a 12-month sport, you have all kinds of holidays to prepare for such as St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, just to name the next 3, not to mention high school and college graduations in June.

    If there was ever a time to get ahead of the trend, now is it. Just ask the big boys.

Cyber Monday 2010 - A Sign of the Future?

    As we get ready to embrace a new decade, technology is ever-advancing. Therefore, the people who will be the beneficiaries of that technology must advance as well. As a case in point, the initial returns on the 2010 version of Cyber Monday appear to be quite positive. According to STLToday.com, Cyber Monday sales are ahead of last year's pace, and could turn out to be the single biggest shopping day of the entire calendar year.

    Analysts have even gone as far as to say that the numbers could eclipse $1 billion. After all, just this past Thanksgiving Day - some 5 days ago, online sales were at $407 million, a 28% jump. Try $607 million the next day.

    While online sales are still at only 8-10%, don't be fooled into thinking that's a number that will stay the same. At the end of 2009, online shopping sales were at roughly 3 percent. As we talked about in the beginning, when technology changes, the people are forced to change along with it. It looks as though the future is just beginning. Take advantage of the curve, before it shoots by you.

Black Friday Is At Hand

    Well, the most anticipated day for many retailers throughout the United States in now here, in the form of Black Friday. This is where retail outlets will go out of their way, which means in some cases, opening their doors at 3:00 and 4:00 AM to beat their competition for the best in-store deals around.

    Don't look now, but the stores who market heavily on the Internet have also taken notice. There are plenty of places who have put out their special online discounts, long before the infamous Cyber Monday is to begin at midnight on November 29th. As an example, King James Express has compiled 80 of the best deals out there, which can be found on the King James Express tab at http://www.jamesisking.com/. This is just a small example of where the buying power of the American consumer is headed. Wouldn't it be something if online sales outperformed in-store sales on a day that is designed to restore the financial bottm line of the storefronts to begin with?

    Along with those aforementioned 80 online deals, there is a central location where all of these stores meet. ZamZuu has corraled all of these places, and put them on a single site that will pay cash back to the customer, and pay commission to the owner. Of course, the beauty of it is that right now, in a limited time offer, an e-commerce distribution center can be obtained at no charge, for simply tyring out the site.

From Black Friday to Cyber Monday: A Shopping Trend Has Developed

    When it comes to Black Friday, there are virtually no holds barred, in terms of sales and customer traffic to all of the major retail outlets throughout the United States. Since the term "Black Friday" was used as a shopping term, back in 1966, and reinvented as a financial term for retailers in 1981, those same retailers use Black Friday to jump from being in the red(minus) to in the black(plus) in their revenues.

    In 2009, Black Friday sales exceeded $10 billion. Even in a down economy, it seems that people will find a way to get what they are looking for, even if and when the retailers have to cut prices dramatically, in order for it to happen. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, shopping - both in-store and online, are almost unparalleled, compared to any other time of the year.

    That brings us to the world of online shopping, and Cyber Monday, which was created as a term in 2005. According to comScore, Cyber Monday brought in $887 million in 2009. It was even reported that more than half of the money that was spent online was being done from work computers. So, that alone can tell you that Cyber Monday and the power of online shopping have become a big phenomenon.

    In 2010, there will be plenty of store and online discounts to go around. Many people have decided not to brave the elements - both outside, and inside the store to make their purchases. Instead, they chose to do it from the comfort of their own homes. After all, it saves gas, the time and energy of carrying your stuff from store to car, and eventually, from car to house. So, there are certainly advantages to even the most experienced shopper to do their best shopping from a remote location, such as work or home..

    In addition, there is a new online initiative that just recently came onto the scene in January of 2010. At that time, a website was created for the sole purpose of giving the power of online shopping back to the consumer who purchases good and services from major outlets, such as Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, Target, Kohl's, and many others. This is a virtual mall that pays cash back to the customer for his/her purchases, but also will issue a 30% royalty, in the form of a commission check, simply for trying it out at no charge. In addition, there are also unique specialty items, which would make some tremendous gift ideas for this holiday season.
