According to a report earlier this year from eBillme and Javelin Strategy & Research, the average consumer plans to spend about $236 on the Web during the first quarter of 2010.
One contributing factor to that figure is Valentine’s Day shopping, according to the study. About 23% of US respondents said they’ll shop on the Web for a Valentine’s Day gift this year, and 9% said they’ll spend more online than they did a year ago.
The report also found that nearly 50% of online shoppers “don’t know what to purchase their loved one for Valentine’s Day,” and 57% are looking for something to purchase other than chocolate or flowers! eBillme’s Samer Forzley explains:
“It’s interesting to see that consumers are looking to more non-traditional gifts this year but are still in the dark about what they will be purchasing.” This means a great opportunity to market and capture these sales.
