There's a new movement afoot in the holiday shopping season. In ever increasing numbers, people are avoiding mobbed malls in favor of the ease and convenience of shopping from their homes via the Internet and their home computer. Dr. Alan Rea, WMU assistant professor of business information systems, says online shopping is exploding and has far exceeded expectations this year. You can shop at 3 in the morning in your pajamas when you can't sleep. You can avoid those weekend and holiday shopping sprees.
People pack their schedules so full.
So you can avoid those times and order your gifts online. Rea says selection also is better online, since customers aren't limited to what's offered at their local store. K is over. So you're going to see more e-commerce.
