Online shopping on Black Friday was much better than retail stores this year. I'm sure those statistics are a little skewed as they didn't even include Black Friday. Patrick's last blog post..Make Your Own Homeade Pesticides and Repellants

Doesnt surprise me at all. Maybe the ecommerce sites could make them selves more community oriented

Yep, I also agree Stuart. The biggest part of any business and the way it markets itself is people.

Community building IS marketing. The faster people realize that the best way to convert people is to interact with them on an individual and humanized level. Simple really, people like being treated like people (not cattle and not a number). It comes as no surprise to me that SM is doing better then E-Commerce overall.

This relates nicely to recent reports that, while the economy is in the tank, movie ticket sales are strong as ever. People need an escape in times like these, so it’s no surprise to me that they are doing it online too.

Gooooo Blogs. lol. Seems that continuing to build community through blogging will be a good investment. Maybe even adding a content community (blog or forum) to an commerce site would help to boost their traffic and possibly their revenue or at least add some other income streams.
