2014 Holiday Trends
Amazon has identified some of the most anticipated shopping trends this holiday from gifts that give back to same-day delivery, Amazon customers are shopping smarter than ever before.
Shopping for Good: Amazon celebrates the one year anniversary of AmazonSmile where customers can find the exact same Amazon they know and love, except Amazon will also donate a portion of the purchase price to a favorite charitable organization. Customers can start shopping today at smile.amazon.com
Growth of Mobile Shopping: More and more Amazon customers are shopping on a mobile device. In fact, more than half of Amazon customers shopped using a mobile device last holiday. Between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, Amazon customers ordered more than five toys per second from a mobile device. Now with visual and voice search, customers can use their smart phone to search and shop in seconds. We want customers to go from I want that to I bought that in under 30 seconds.
Discover and Shop on Twitter: New this year, customers can add items they discover on Twitter to their Amazon Shopping Cart or Wish List without leaving their Twitter feed. When customers discover a Tweet from their favorite artist, expert, brand, or friend with an Amazon.com product link, they can simply add #AmazonCart or #AmazonWishList to their reply on Twitter and the product is added to their Cart or Wish List.
