Net commerce comes of age
Article Abstract:
Internet-based electronic commerce became a mainstream activity in the 1998 Christmas holiday season, with shoppers spending roughly $3 billion to acquire merchandise online during the five-week period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. America Online reported that subscribers spent $1.2 billion in online shopping during the same period. Electronic commerce has grown dramatically because of its convenience, time saving nature, and the fact that awareness of Internet commerce increased dramatically in 1998 largely because of newspaper and media reports. Newspaper publishers should therefore consider building a crossover market involving print and Internet advertising.
