Shopping online is popular, especially during the hectic holiday season. Shopping online while at work is even more popular according to a new survey from CyberSource. The findings indicate that the peak online shopping volumes are during conventional working hours!
During the week of December 3 through December 9 the peak online shopping was 1 pm Pacific time and 4 pm Eastern time. Working hours for most people. In contrast the hours that saw the lowest amount of volume were 11 pm and 4 am Pacific time and 2 am and 7 am Eastern Time.
The survey also found differences in the volume of online shopping on the weekends when compared to the workweek. Monday and Tuesday were the highest volume of online shopping while Saturday and Sunday saw the lowest volumes of online transactions.
