Jingle bells, jingle pockets

Do you offer products on your website? If not, you should think about changing that. The online marketplace is hotter than ever--Jupiter Research says holiday sales this year are going up 18% to $26 billion.

And have you seen the new Google personalized search? Anything that will help me find what I need faster is okay by me. Even though eWeek doesn't sound too enthusiastic about personalized search, I think that focusing search capabilities is a good idea for consumers and will quickly lead to hotter sales for online retailers--after all, if more people can find your stuff, more people can buy it.

So get your site ready. The bells, they are a-jinglin'...

Some people say, "Already?" I say, I usually start shopping for the holidays in June.

Oh, and I'll be working on some out of town projects this week. So look for more next week.
