The shift to online shopping?

2012-11-30 18:17:47.72676+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The day after Thanksgiving, Charlene and I went to downtown Petaluma to have dinner at Avatars while we played Scrabble, and were amazed at how dead it was downtown.

Time says that "Black Friday" sales were down 1.8% over 2011.

Wall Street Journal says that "Cyber Monday" sales were up 17% over last year.

If I considered myself more of an analyst I'd try to track down absolute numbers for those and see if it looked like there were correlation in that shift...
