When to find the best cyber shopping deals
'Tis the season to go and spend lots of money, as we approach Thanksgiving (in the US), Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other shopping opportunities.
With November and December sales expected to top $616 billion dollars, payment processing specialist Merchant Warehouse has produced an infographic looking at what to expect from the holiday shopping season.
There are some interesting statistics, for example Thanksgiving has 229 percent more gaming deals than Cyber Monday and is the best time to shop if you’re looking for a TV or Blu-ray player. Black Friday is best for laptops, data storage and kitchenware, and Cyber Monday, interestingly, is the best time to buy clothes and shoes.
Shipping options are seen as increasingly important since in 2013 15 percent of Christmas eCommerce purchases arrived after 25th December. 70 percent of shoppers now say that shipping options are a key part of their buying experience.
The graphic rounds off with some tips on how to work the system to get the best deals. You can see the full thing below.
