Holiday Spree To Push 2003 Online Sales To 100 Billion Dollars

WASHINGTON - A surge in online holiday shopping is expected to push Internet retail sales for 2003 above the 100 billion dollar mark for the first time, a market research firm said.

Forrester Research said its projection of a strong shopping season for the year-end holidays -- up 42 percent from last year -- will push Internet sales to a new milestone.

"When the dust settles, US consumers will have spent more than 12 billion dollars online during the holiday weeks, and 2003 US e-commerce will eclipse 100 billion dollars for the first time," said Forrester analyst Kate Delhagen.

Forrester estimated that 2002 online sales hit 76 billion dollars, up 48 percent from the previous year.

Surveys on online spending vary greatly, with differing definitions of the holiday season and online purchases. Government figures, for example, exclude travel bookings and some other services online.

A separate report Tuesday by Goldman, Sachs, Harris Interactive and Nielsen NetRatings showed that online shoppers spent 2.95 billion dollars during the second week in December, an increase of 48 percent from 2002.

The latest weekly report brings the total spent online excluding travel to 13 billion this holiday season, an increase of 46 percent over last year, the report said.

There's things being sold right now that would have never been imagined even 7 years ago.

The net has become a wonderful market.

I am putting more into mainstream this coming year and have already begun steps to cash in on some of the almost insane things people are selling online in addition to the smut.

I think you're right on the money there Fletch. I'm going to start scouting for one of a kind stuff also. You can make a lot of money when you're the only place where someone can buy something.

Luckily, I live in a very good place to get any product produced.

You can get anything made in LA for dirt cheap.

thanks mexico!

who needs China?

I was selling things online way before I got into adult, its time to take the things ive learned and apply them to other streams, theres tons of traffic out there and once you know how to make sales and market ideas and products, theres nothing holding you back from cashing in.

2004 will be a great year for guys like me.
