Yesterday was the start of the online holiday shopping season, Cyber Monday. Experts believe that it probably set what will be a short-lived record for one-day online sales, an estimated $700 Million. Over the last 2 years “Cyber Monday” has kicked off the holidays with a surge of sales that have been surpassed before Santa finishes his trek Christmas morning. This year is expected to follow suit. The good news for us at 3LUXE? Yesterday was a record setting day, with the most visitors and highest page views since our launch in June.

It’s gratifying to have visitors using 3LUXE to assist with their Christmas gift research and it’s interesting to see what they’re looking at. The 2007 holiday season is forecasting big sales for mp3 players, gaming systems and HD televisions, and in reviewing our traffic it looks like it will. One of the surprising Christmas gifts this year? Turntables.

As music lovers look to convert their rare and extensive vinyl collections into mp3s, turntables like the Ion TTUSB10 can make that happen. Audiophiles will tell you that nothing can replace the enjoyment of listening to classic records on a good turntable, but you can’t carry a record player in your pocket. As MP3 players’ enormous storage capacity further explodes, it’s possible to carry tens of thousands of old favorites and new classics anywhere, for enjoyment anytime.

This holiday season we look forward to breaking new records with you while preserving your favorites.

All the best,
Bill
