BRotD - Entry 0238 History of Online Holiday Shopping

Best Reading of the Day

This little story is actually huge as it provides link after link to other stories that tell one comprehensive view of the history of online shopping during the holidays.

Huge story.  Really cool read.  Check it out:

Here is a snippet from the piece:

Back in 2005, few of us had high-speed Internet access at home and online holiday shopping was done on the sly during work hours. The first day back at work after Thanksgiving weekend was when online holiday shopping began in earnest. When we first noticed the trend, we coined the phrase “Cyber Monday” and the rest is history.

A decade later, we’re streaming television at home on high-speed Wi-Fi connections, talking with our families and our favorite brands on social media and constantly connected to everything on smartphones and tablets — devices that didn’t even exist 10 years ago.

Happy Reading,

J.W. Gant
