The lower economy in 2009 hasn’t seen to have a big impact on holiday shopping for 2009 as comScore reports $25.5 billion has been spent online, marking a 4% increase versus the same time period in 2009. The final shopping weekend of the season (Dec. 19-20) boasted a strong 13% growth rate as snowstorms on the eastern seaboard prompted many consumers to finish their holiday shopping from the confines of their own homes.
The full week posted a year-over-year growth rate of 6% as it set a one-week sales record with more than $4.8 billion in spending.
