SHOPPERS SPENT $30.1 BILLION ONLINE during the 2005 holiday season, up 30% from 2004, according to a survey by Goldman Sachs, Nielsen//NetRatings and Harris Interactive. Based on a polling of 1,000 consumers each week, spending on clothing and apparel led the way for the period of Oct. 29 to Dec. 23. The category totaled $5.3 billion, up 42% from 2004. Tied for second place were the computer hardware and peripherals category and consumer electronics, which each more than doubled in sales, both raking in $4.8 billion. Books and toys/videogames rounded out the top five product categories, garnering $3 billion and $2.3 billion in online revenue, respectively. Time to short brick and mortar retailers?
