RedFlagDeals.com has recently released a survey of Canadian shoppers that places three Vancouver-based firms in the Top Ten. At least according to an article in Backbone Magazine.
Not surprisingly, all three are technology sites. In fact, technology, books and office supplies continue to dominate online shopping activities.
Here’s the list of the top 10 Canadian online shopping sites (Vancouver companies in italics):
# “_FutureShop.ca_”:http://www.futureshop.ca
# “eBay.ca”:http://www.ebay.ca
# “Amazon.ca”:http://www.amazon.ca
# “_NCIX.com_”:http://www.ncix.com
# “chapters.indigo.ca”:http://www.chapters.indigo.ca
# “_BestBuy.ca_”:http://www.bestbuy.ca and “TigerDirect.ca”:http://www.tigerdirect.ca (tied)
# “CanadianTire.ca”:http://www.canadiantire.ca
# “Staples.ca”:http://www.staples.ca
# “DealsOutlet.ca”:http://www.dealoutlet.ca
The RedFlagDeals.com website also publishes a series of poll results all relating to online shopping behaviour and preferences by Canadians. Some interesting stats, as long as you remember to consider the source. Informal polls can’t possibly deliver the same level of accuracy as a formally conducted research study.
