Less Risk Seen in Purchasing Clothes Online

It says that in 2006, revenue from skirts, suits and shoes reached $18.3 billion, surpassing that from PCs, printers and word-processing programs, which totaled $17.2 billion, according to a report to be released today by a major trade group.

Consider that commissions for apparels are generally higher than for computers.

Yes , i did read this news some time ago and apparel sales are booming thanks mostly to women . Retail sales of clothing, accessories and footwear reached $18.3 billion in 2006, a 61 per cent increase over last year, according to the survey by internet research group Forrester Research for Shop.org, an arm of the National Retail Federation.Online shoppers in the United States spent more on apparel than on computer hardware and software for the first time ever, according to an annual e-commerce study

Yup, I definitely agree to that. Most people from all walks of life find it more attractive to purchase apparels online rather than PC hardwares or softwares since it is cheaper plus, the sale items they offer from time to time and some freebies of course. That's why Fashion sites like AsiaJam are more popular now.

Well , i do think that women might be just contributing a lot more here than men because it is the women who just love to shop around a lot more than men for apparel at least , which is confirmed by the huge amount of space their clothes take up . But on a more general note I have seen on websites like ebay that there are just too many listings in apparel section than anywhere else . And also it features on the top in listings and searches at many websites .
