We've rounded-up the research around mobile, online, Black Friday and holiday shopping this year. 2013 is the first year that Internet shopping intentions are higher than brick and mortar discount stores.
According to Deloitte 47% intend to shop on the Internet over the holidays 44% in discount stores and 28% in traditional department stores.
Deloitte’s Holiday survey found that consumers will primarily use smartphones to find store locations (56 %), research prices (54 %), gather all of the product information (47%) and browse product lines (45 %). They also found that two-thirds (63%) of tablet owners plan to use their tablets for holiday shopping this year, with “shop or browse online” ranking as the No. 1 activity.
Okay, so Walmart sells the Nexus 7 (with a free cover), which leads many to wonder the who what when ...
Walmart is heavily promoting its $100 gift card offer with any smartphone, we read the fine print and there may be better deals for some buyers. So get your calculator out. There are only two days left to Cyber Week and the deal ends December 1.
First off, the offer is not valid for iPhone, iPhones are seldom discounted unless you buy a refurbished model. Therefore if you are looking for an iPhone deal, hold off your trip to Walmart.
The fine print also states "gift card only good upon phone activation with a two-year contract. Offer good from November 25, 2012 to December 1, 2012."
The offer is for in-store purchases only. Therefore we suggest that you also figure in the amount of time you will spend driving and parking to get to Walmart store. For example, one of our readers commented that there are several Walmart stores within 15 minute of his location. In some parts of Los Angeles, you'll have to drive up to an hour in traffic to get to a Walmart.
