2013 Holiday Season: 60 Percent of Canadians Will Shop Online
FedEx Express Canada Survey Projects 12% YOY Growth of Canadian E-consumers
(firmenpresse) - MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/14/13 -- Contending with crowded parking lots and waiting in line at check-out counters no longer has to be part of anyone's holiday tradition, as Canadian consumers are set to break online shopping records this holiday season. According to a recent poll, a vast majority of Canadians will opt for the convenience and comfort of "click-buy-and-ship" from anywhere.
The second annual Angus Reid survey commissioned by Federal Express Canada Ltd. (FedEx Express Canada), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world's largest express transportation companies, reveals that six out of ten Canadian holiday shoppers will turn to e-commerce this holiday season to take advantage of advanced online shopping technology and fast shipping. Last year, only 48% of survey respondents indicated that they planned to shop online for the holidays.
Much like last year's results, this year's survey revealed a number of interesting findings, including:
"The chaos of Black Friday holiday shopping is quickly being replaced with the calming convenience of Cyber Monday," said Lisa Lisson, president of FedEx Express Canada. "Canadians are clearly opting to avoid the malls and shop online for amazing holiday deals and the convenience of delivery to the office or home. Online shopping is one way to add a relaxing experience to an occasionally stressful holiday season."
FedEx Corp. announced that it will have its busiest day in company history on December 2, 2013, when 22 million packages are expected to be delivered around the world. It is the first time ever that the busiest day of the year for FedEx is expected to fall on Cyber Monday.
About The FedEx Express Canada Online Shopping Survey
From September 26th to September 27th 2013 an online survey was conducted among 1,503 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error-which measures sampling variability-is +/- 2.5%, 19 times out of 20. The results have been statistically weighted according to education, age, gender and region (and in Quebec, language) census data to ensure a sample representative of the entire adult population of Canada. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding.
