Forrester Research Predicts Coming Holiday Sales to be driven By Online Retailers

An independent research report from Forrester Research predicts that online sales will be the growth engine for the retail industry this holiday shopping season.  Online sales are predicted to grow 8 percent this year, while traditional retail “bricks and mortar” sales are expected to remain flat.  This would bring online sales to $44.7 billion this year which follows a 5 percent growth year-over-year from 2007 to 2008.
