ABC News(NEW YORK) -- Even before Christmas Day was over, the post-holiday
push was under way. Retailers spent Christmas blitzing shoppers with email,
desperate to keep a good thing going.
If sales continue to be strong over the next week, this holiday shopping
season could be the best ever, despite the bad economy. Americans in 2007
spent a record $453 billion on holiday shopping. After a two-year dip, the
numbers this year are creeping back.
The National Retail Federation predicts seasonal sales will top $451 billion
dollars – a jump of more than 3 percent over last year.
So what’s the best strategy for post-Christmas shopping? Experts say
consumers should check the web before checking the stores. Shoppers have
spent more than $36 billion buying online this season, driven by discounts
and free shipping – offers that continue this week, meaning you may not
even have to brave the stores to get the best deal.
Getting people into the stores over the next few days is a big concern for
retailers. Analysts are worried that bad weather across the country could
keep people away and seriously impact stores’ bottom lines as retailers
close out their holiday shopping seasons.
