Do you still shop online even during ‘off season’ periods?


I’m sure everyone knows the peak retail shopping seasons, at least in America, generally run concurrent with holidays — most especially just after Thanksgiving in November (the legendary Black Friday frenzy every year comes to mind) and just before and after Christmas.

What about the rest of the year? Do you do much shopping, especially online shopping, during “off season” shopping periods?

As I’ve mentioned here before, I rely on commissions earned from various online merchant partners which I link to. That provides a significant slice of our monthly income, so I’m always happy to find people shopping online via links to my merchant partners ANY time of the year.

Two very well-known and trusted online shopping sites are Amazon.com and the ever popular eBay. I happen to be an affiliate partner for both sites. The good news is, both sites have a steady flow of browsers and shoppers pretty much year around. The bad news is, I still haven’t managed to drive steady, year around traffic to either site. But I’m working at it.

And part of that work is asking folks who visit my sites to tell me what sort of shopping they do and when so I can try to provide useful web links here and on my other sites for their (YOUR) online shopping convenience.
