Press Release Body: (Fayetteville , NC) Spring has arrived, Saint Paddy's Day is
here, The Easter Bunny is about to start hopping, and March Madness has gripped the
country! What does all this mean? For 2008 retail chains, it means consumers are
turning online to facilitate their buying needs. According to the latest Nielsen
Global Online Survey on Internet shopping habits, more than 85% of the world\'s
online population has used the Internet to make a purchase, increasing the market
for online shopping by 40% in the past two years! "The numbers are merely
representative of a growing trend" says John Horton, Vice President of Sales &
Marketing for web hosting provider Advanced Internet Technologies, Inc
(www.AIT.com/?pdkw=pr-march-madness-fr-03-17-2008), "businesses are losing their
foot traffic and have to turn online to make up for those losses." Bruce Paul, Vice
President of Customized Research for Nielson Online echoed that sentiment by saying,
"This shows the importance of capturing the tens of millions of new online shoppers
as they make their first purchases on the Internet. If shopping sites can capture
them early and create a positive shopping experience, they will likely capture their
loyalty and their money."
