“This week’s conversion rate, I think, is an illustration of how ‘Christmas creep’ can pertain to more than just retailers,” said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst, The NPD Group, Inc., “Consumers are starting to show a slow ramp up toward holiday and we will see a steady build in their momentum in the coming weeks.”
The Online Share of Buying for the 4 weeks reported remained in the 11 to 12 percent range with no notable change this week.
