December 29, 1998 08:53 Online Retailers Still Ringing Up Sales After Christmas - Report (NewsTraders.com)-- Online retailers said Monday that traffic on their Web sites was extremely heavy after the Christmas holiday, according to the LA Times. Highlights: - The Boston Consulting Group said that online shopping swelled 230% during this holiday season, with the price of the average order rising 6% to $55. - Only a handful of online retailers have reported their holiday sales, however, firms like Skymall (SKYM) and Sharper Image (SHRP) saw their shares jump after disclosing they had robust sales growth. - The figures could be somewhat misleading because most companies have only reported the percentage increase from the previous year where online sales were relatively miniscule.
