Most popular online products of the week
In recent years, online shopping has become more popular. In order to shop online, one must be able to have access to a computer as well as a credit card or debit card. Shopping has evolved with the growth of technology. According to research found in the Journal of Electronic Commerce, if one focuses on the demographic characteristics of the in-home shopper, in general, the higher the level of education, income, and occupation of the head of the household, the more favorable the perception of non-store shopping. An influential factor in consumer attitude towards non-store shopping is exposure to technology, since it has been demonstrated that increased exposure to technology increases the probability of developing favorable attitudes towards new shopping channels.
The latest statistics from online shopping portal Wantitall and shopping search engine Jump indicates a strong interest in gaming, movies and the ever popular iPhone or HTC sensation. According to Jump Shopping’s latest statistics the most popular brands among online shoppers are Hewlett Packard, Canon and Sony. The top 10 is completed by Garmin, Microsoft, LG, Nokia, Logitech, TomTom and Asus.
When it comes to search terms ‘LCD TV’ leads the pack followed by iPod and car audio. Other popular terms include GPS, Toyota, iphone, digital camera, mobile phone, LCD monitor and games. The top 10 search terms from Wantitall – which offers clients millions products through its partnership with Amazon.com – is iPod, ben 10, ghd, iPhone, wii, Fossil, PS3, Tag Heuer, Canon and Transformers.
When it comes to online sales the picture looks very different. Games and DVDs dominate the list of the top selling products according to Wantitall’s latest statistics. Hardware items like the iPod Classic and financial calculators did feature in the top 20, but struggle to compete against popular gaming and DVD titles.
The reason for the discrepancy between search terms and products sales may lie in the fact that many South Africans search for products to compare prices rather than purchase the products online.
