Linktopia for today peeks at the recent shopping season and gets a glimpse at ad spending in 2009.
If such a high number of shoppers invest time in reviews, what does it say for the declining number of book reviews?
Eight in ten online shoppers (81%) have read consumer-written product or retailer reviews when doing their holiday shopping this year, according to (pdf) a Nielsen Online holiday survey conducted in mid-December, reports Retailer Daily.
There are changes on the way for ad spending in 2009 and perhaps it’s no surprise video is on the rise.
Video ad spending will run counter to overall economic developments, rising by 45% in 2009 to reach $850 million. Two key factors support this trend.
Find out what those factors are here.
Finally, over at Tom Martin’s site he brings some needed humor to those of us buried in snow and cold this year. Enjoy a laugh here.
