Online retailer sees 48% increase in orders over Cyber Monday.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) December 13, 2006 -- eBags took 88% more orders on Cyber Monday than on the Monday before Thanksgiving; however, the 6,779 orders placed on eBags on December 11th beat Cyber Mondays total orders by 48%. Additionally, the site showed an increase of 179% in orders on Monday, December 11th over the Monday before Thanksgiving.

Between Cyber Monday and Monday, December 11th, eBags traffic grew 4%, with 146,917 unique shoppers visiting on Monday, December 11th.

These numbers show that the assumption that Cyber Mondays title as the largest day of the season for online retailers is a bit flawed These numbers show that the assumption that Cyber Mondays title as the largest day of the season for online retailers is a bit flawed, states Jon Nordmark, CEO of eBags, Inc. Really, considering the only slight increase in traffic, Cyber Monday should be considered a shopping day, while e-Tail Monday, as I like to call it, is a buying day. The fact that orders increase nearly 48% between those 2 weeks is indicative of an increased motivation to buy. December 11th becomes a sizeable day largely due to the impending shipping deadlines that are part and parcel of online shopping during the holiday.

In an effort to aid those shoppers who are facing shipping deadlines, www.eBags.com will offer QuickShip -- free upgraded 2nd Day Air shipping from December 14th through December 19th. Additionally, eBags.com Holiday Center features great last-minute gift ideas, from stocking stuffers (http://www.ebags.com/travel_accessories/department/index.cfm?sub_site_id=24) to true splurges (http://www.ebags.com/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=searching&brandid=121&categoryid=8064&end_keywords=zero%20halliburton).
