Busiest Day Online in 2006
Wednesday 27 December was the busiest day online for internet retailers in 2006. The number of visitors to internet retail sites was higher than the pre-Christmas Mondays which, until that point, had seen the highest levels of traffic of 2006.
Sales online and in the high street may be one of the reasons why traffic to a raft of e-retail sites being monitored by market research company eDigitalResearch peaked on 27 December as shoppers checked out prices online before ‘hitting the high street’.
Traffic had started to drop off to retail sites after Tuesday 19 December as shoppers began to find that many internet retailers were unable to deliver in time for Christmas.
