Christmas Gift Shopping Trends Under Scrutiny

Sydney, Australia, October 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A survey which is currently underway about online Christmas gift shopping trends is expected to give internet retailers helpful news in the lead-up to the lucrative holiday season.

The Christmas Gifts Survey is the sixth consumer survey conducted by Elizabeth Ball of It's In The Stars at http://www.itsinthestarsonline.com.

Previous gift-related surveys have focused on anniversary gifts, wedding gifts, baby gifts, personalised gifts and Fathers Day gifts.

"It's always fascinating to check what customers' gift-buying preferences are and it can be very helpful to your business to know what they're seeking," said Elizabeth.

"This Christmas gifts survey is looking at when customers start their gift shopping and if they plan to spend the same, less or more online this year, their attitudes towards Kris Kringles, what types of online services - gift wrapping, gift wish lists, electronic gift certificates etc - that they'd use or pay for, as well as how much they'll spend depending on who they're buying for."

Elizabeth said online retailers are wecome to run the survey link at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=9E5nIWySY1T3V41Uzt5hhQ_3d_3d on their website, newsletter, blog or Twitter to invite their customers to fill it out.

The survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=9E5nIWySY1T3V41Uzt5hhQ_3d_3d will run until 31 October 2009 and results will be made available on http://www.itsinthestarsonline.com and Elizabeth's Gifts By The Stars blog at http://gifts-by-the-stars-online.com.
