To kick off the my blog with some credible information, here's a summary of the Top 10 Online Retailers for the month of October 2008 in the US. I am not surprise to see Amazon not in the Top 10 yet again since December 2007. This probably reflects a change in trend as to how customers are spending their dollar over the internet. I would probably think that most of the internet shoppers are getting smarter and more selective to what they want to buy. Hence instead of heading to big online retailers like Best Buys & Amazon, these smart shoppers search for online stores that offer what they need/want. At the same time, the current world of internet offers lesser barriers of entry for smaller stores to setup shop and offer their wares. Furthermore, these shops do know that the internet is the next logical step to expand their business (and revenue for the matter). So I guess its a win-win situation for both sides.
The last chart shows the breakdown of money spent by "ionioms" (my term for internet shoppers - refer to oniomanicas). No surprise there - Computer Hardware for the geeks, me included! LOL
