Dorine GO DELL 12:05 AM RTR U.S. Online shopping expected to surge for holidays 1 11/06/98 RTR AFTER THE BELL - Dell shrs rise after hours U.S. Online shopping expected to surge for holidays November 9, 1998 12:05 AM ROUND ROCK, Texas, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Online shopping is expected to surge this holiday season as more and more U.S. consumers choose the comfort of their own homes to do shopping rather than go to a mall. According to a recent survey by Dell Computer Corp. DELL and Louis Harris & Associates Inc., 43 percent of Americans who use computers said they were likely to shop on the Internet this holiday season. That is a 330 percent increase over the 1997 holiday season when just 10 percent shopped online. "More and more Americans are buying online and they're happy with the results," Scott Eckert, director of Dell Online, said in a statement released Monday. "It's a trend that's taking the country by storm because it's convenient, easy and secure." Seventy percent of the 1,943 adult survey respondents who use computers and the Internet said they enjoyed shopping online while 36 percent described a trip to the mall as part of their holiday fun. But even 61 percent of those consumers who liked mall shopping gave electronic commerce a thumbs-up. Respondents said the benefits of online shopping included that they could shop any time of day, the ease of shopping from the comfort of their homes and the fact that they could find anything they wanted through the Internet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
