Mega Monday for online shopping

Monday 8th December, today, is predicted to be the busiest pre-Christmas online shopping day.

Here are some interesting facts:

• IMRG and Capgemini estimate that between October and December this year £13.16bn will be spent online.
• Last year's busiest minute online was 1:09pm on December 10 when UK shoppers spent an estimated £767,500
• The American equivalent to our Mega Monday is called Cyber Monday. It was 1st December in the USA
• Americans spent 15% more online this year than last year on Cyber Monday.
• Shoppers will spend more than £16,000 per second today
• Play.com are expecting 936 orders a minute today
• Last Monday Argos had 23% more people than last year log on to their website
• John Lewis are predicting 8th December to be their biggest day online

And then we do it all again - actually the biggest day of the year last year was Boxing Day.
