		<description>[...] 今年の年末商戦のテーマは「倹約」に決まりそうだ。J.P. Morganのアナリスト、Imran Khanによると、今年のオンライン売り上げは完全に頭打ちになるだろうという。アメリカの消費者に対するJ.P. Morganの調査によると、30%近い消費者が、今年のクリスマス・年末シーズンのオンライン支出を昨年より減らす予定だと回答している。そうであっても、オンライン通版はオフラインに比べればまだましだ。オンラインとオフラインをあわせたトータルでは44%が支出を控えると回答している。（昨年の33%から増加）。しかも、トータルでは消費を控えると回答した消費者の19%がオンライン支出は増えると考えている。今年は去年より支出を増やす予定だと答えた消費者はトータルでわずか12%だったが、これがオンラインの場合は32%となり、「減らす予定」と答えた消費者よりわずかに多い結果となった。オンライン通版では、依然Amazonがトップだが、WalmartとTargetも差を詰めている。約50%のオンライン消費者がAmazonを、35%がWalmart.com、 32%がeBay、27%がTarget.comをそれぞれ利用する予定があると回答している。事実、今年はオンライン通版利用者数でWalmart.comがeBayを上回る最初の年になるかもしれない。今回の調査によると、Sears.comの利用者数は36%も上昇するかもしれないという。（今日Searsのサイトがダウンしたのはそのせいかもしれない）。しかし高額所得層の利用に限ってみると、Amazonが群を抜いている。年間所得10万ドル以上の層の59%がAmazonを利用すると回答した。この調査で、2位はわずか33%だった。ただし、どんな所得層のユーザーでも、通版サイトを選ぶ基準の1位は価格だ。続いて品揃え、サイトになじみがあること、などとなっている。[原文へ]（翻訳：Namekawa, U）  ShowListings(&quot;arc3&quot;);  ShowListings(&quot;arc2&quot;);      AddClipsUrl = &#039;http://jp.techcrunch.com/archives/20081129survey-suggests-nearly-30-percent-of-online-holiday-shoppers-plan-on-spending-less-this-year/&#039;; AddClipsTitle = &#039;オンライン年末商戦調査―30%近い消費者が財布のヒモを締めると回答&#039;; AddClipsId = &#039;2CBE02C952CFE&#039;; AddClipsBcolor=&#039;#78BE44&#039;; AddClipsNcolor=&#039;#D1E9C0&#039;; AddClipsTcolor=&#039;#666666&#039;; AddClipsType=&#039;1&#039;; AddClipsVerticalAlign=&#039;middle&#039;;     前の投稿へ     トラックバック [...]</description>

		<description>Apparently, at least according to news reports, most of the best deals this year will come later in December as retailers make an even bigger push to close sales and bring cash into the bank for 2008 - to make up for the weaker performance because of the economy. But either way, the best approach to getting the best deals is just to track sales and offers, and to use coupons. Just track deals via sites like http://www.CouponsCatalog.com</description>

		<description>I have to agree that people will spend more online because retail is dying, especially in this recession economy.

If you are smart though, you can find a way to make money out of recession too:

		<description>This sure is a nice piece of doom and gloom reporting.  According to the chart more people are going to increase their spending than decrease. People are spending more! Why are you focusing on the negative? I don&#039;t get it. It seems you guys really want there to be a terrible recession. I guess it will make for more interesting stories.</description>
