62 Million Consumers to Start Christmas Shopping Early
Seems like it’s all bad news these days, so thought I’d share something that could present a an opportunity for some affiliates that can take advantage of it.
Approximately 1/3 of the Holiday shoppers this year are predicted to jump the gun and start Christmas shopping before the infamous retail marker Black Friday. This, according to new data from Mediamark Research & Intelligence (MRI), in a story I discoverer at Biz Report. (Below)
62 million U.S. consumers start holiday shop early
“Black Friday may be the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, but – as many retailers have recognized – its strength has diminished as millions of Americans begin their shopping before Thanksgiving,” said MRI in a recent announcement.“Understanding who these consumers are and how best to reach them will give marketers a leg up in what is shaping up to a be a difficult holiday season for retailers.”
Go get your fair share of the early birds!

So they will start shopping TODAY? Because what we had today was nothing short of a black friday, worldwide.

No the study said they would start shopping early – not today.
And yes today was pretty black. Scary!

Did the study indicate what would be the most desired gift or price range of gift?
