Record $733M spent in ONE DAY on Cyber Monday

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Online sales on “Cyber Monday,” November 26th, hit a new record, of $733 million, according to numbers released by ComScore. However, despite marking the first day in which total ecommerce sales broke $700 million, Cyber Monday’s record isn’t likely to last for long. As it did last year, that number is expected to be eclipsed shortly by even higher one-day figures. “We expect that a number of individual shopping days during the coming weeks will surpass the Cyber Monday total, with some days potentially surpassing $800 million,” said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni.

Flying Cart on Crenk

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Steven Finch posted a great post on us on his blog: Crenk

“Once you have built a store on FlyingCart you can befriend other stores that you like and think are worth promoting. It has to be a mutual decision between both store owners if the promotion happens or not. Basically, you send a request to befriend a store and then once and if accepted then you both will promote each others stores on your profiles. It is really just showing Link Love, just like I do on Crenk. If you need and online store, make sure you head over and set one up!”
