SAN FRANCISCO, December 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- We're only one week away from Christmas and, surprisingly, a lot of people are still scrambling on this year's presents for their loved ones. Recent surveys by The Omnibus Company (www.omnibus.com) show that more than 87% of the American population hasn't done their Christmas shopping yet. Interestingly, the parents are the ones that are waiting until the last minute the most - more than 95 of parents admitted to going down to the wire to buy their gifts.
Christmas shopping trends for the US
With the ever-increasing rise of technology, the fact that 2013 is the year of online shopping is not very surprising. Instead of waiting in long lines and arguing over the last remaining Xbox on the shelf, shoppers have decided to take the comfortable option of shopping from their very homes. Convenience is the primary reason for shopping online (76%) and lower prices come as a steady second (63%).
2013 is also the year online went mobile: One in four smartphone owners surveyed plan to use their devices to make a purchase - that's a 21% year-over-year increase. And 84 percent of smartphone shoppers surveyed said they used their device to make purchase decisions while in the store. Considering the needs of mobile users, AnyCodes.com have launched AnyCodes Android app and the coupon app for iPhone, featuring great deals at most popular stores.
Since the vast majority of the American population will be shopping online and in the last minute, major retailers across the country have taken all measures for keeping their shopper's wallets full by introducing the Free Shipping day on December 18.
