No change in online shopping
Survey shows habits likely to remain
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Safe Home Products, a leading online retailer of safety, health and environmentally friendly products, announced the results of its survey titled, "2008 Online Shopping Habits: What is Affecting Your Spending?" The survey was conducted to learn how outside factors in the economy, fuel prices, and weather have and will affect online shopping habits for consumers in 2008.
"We gained some valuable information from the consumers who participated in this survey, for example over 56 percent of consumers believe fuel prices will affect their shopping habits in 2008, but the majority will not change their online shopping habits," said Barbara Staib, president of Safe Home Products. "This tells us that consumers plan to change their shopping behavior in other areas, but not in their online shopping. The majority of the consumers, at nearly 59 percent, plan to shop the same amount in 2008 as in the previous year. This is positive news to us as it means the internet retail economy should remain stable."
