Also, the sky is not falling for Sports/Fitness (up 31%), Books/Mags/Video Games (up 17-18%). The big losers are office supplies and music/movies.

I think we should also look at smaller/vertical ecommerce site to see the full picture: after all, backbone of the business in US is small business, and they do a lot of business through their webstore. This is especially true for boutique brand in various vertical market.

Hey Erick,
You seemed to leave out the fact that there were 5 less shopping days in 2008 v 2007, which is, to quote Burgundy, “kind of a big deal”. I’m quite sure if you take that into account, in this economic climate, it doesn’t look as bad as you portray it.

Also, the sky is not falling for Sports/Fitness (up 31%), Books/Mags/Video Games (up 17-18%). The big losers are office supplies and music/movies.

I don’t get why TC focuses on the companies, and not the verticals to tell the whole story.

The numbers make sense since we are in a recession and the economy is low.

we cant predict anything at this particular point of time and everyone cares about their assests now rather than spending them on something,As global economy has slowed down,each and every company is under recession and so as the ecommerce due to lack of purchases,there should be some flow of money to circulate else everything would be standby

Chris, I agree we shouldn't spend on credit but that doesn't mean we shouldn't spend. If you have the money and want something, by all means buy it. Just pay cash. That's the way to hurt the credit industry. We need to reduce our dependence on debt, and that goes for individuals as well as companies (tech and e-commerce companies are some of the worst). According to Retailer Daily Sears is operating with over $2 Billion in debt. Radio Shack had over $700 million in debt. What's worse, these companies cannot operate without debt... if their credit is frozen they will be forced into bankruptcy because their revenue to debt ratios are ridiculous. People seem to have forgotten the point is to make and save money. I guess when you live in a country with the largest debt imaginable, it just seems natural to borrow, borrow, borrow. That's what got us into this mess in the first place.

I don’t think all of the smaller ecommerce experienced a decline. I expect a strong 2009 4th quarter especially when compared to this year.

I just watched the documentary “Maxed out” on watch instantly through my Xbox 360 on my HDTV.

I got to thinking?

Why *should* Americans spend?

Let’s further punish the credit industry. Let’s really beat them up. So that the only thing they have left are bankruptcies and bad debt.

If somebody could put that idea into a website, they wouldn’t only be rich, they would be god.

a few highlights as well, AMZN reported a staggering 6.3 million items purchased on Dec 15th alone.

we hooked into amazon preholiday and saw strong results all season. we also saw solid traffic but lower conversions. it was a survive season for all retailers, but 2009 will get back to growth.
