Yesterday was a BIG press day for ShopAtHome.com, and it’s been a HUGE November for all of us here, too! Because we truly consider you family (after all, where would we be without our users?), we thought you might like to share in a little bit of our holiday joy. First off, how about a couple of crazy statistics? We’re absolutely in awe of how big the shopping season was this year… and how important it was for each and every one of you to save!

Black Friday Visits
Change: 283%

Cyber Monday Visits
Change: 242%

While those number might seem big, here’s something that will make them seem even bigger: Online Marketing Firm Coremetrics announced that “Online sales in the U.S. rose 16 percent today from a year ago as consumers hunted for bargains on Cyber Monday.” So, while this number is only views (we don’t know how many people bought… or how much Cash Back you’re all going to get as of now, but when we do, I’ll let you know. Let’s start guessing how high the number will be!), we think that we’re going to beat that 16% by a LOT!

And a little bit less surprising was our top ten most popular stores… because we know how much you love so many of them!

Walmart
Best Buy
Kohl’s
Toys ‘R’ Us
PhotoBucket.com
Swagbucks
JCPenney
Sears
PhotoWorks.com
Kmart

On the press end, some fabulous things have been happening! You already saw the post about Karen from Frugal RI Mama‘s news appearance, but here are two more!

1. ABC7 Denver: ShopAtHome.com is featured in an interview by 7NEWS Reporter Jaclyn Allen! If you watch the video, you’ll see a bunch of us from the office, including our CEO and Vice President (and your faithful blogger!). We had a blast doing this and were honored to be chosen!

2. The amazing Marcy from Stretching a Buck Blog was so amazing to mention us when she went on the air at her local NBC4 Columbus station! She offered a fabulous interview filled with insightful thoughts and great tips on saving big (a certain blogger here at ShopAtHome.com may have taken advantage of that insanely great Gap deal, too!). Check out the video and once again, congrats to Marcy!

These are just two clips (three, if you count the amazing Mrs. Wilmes’ too!)

Those are a couple little highlights that we knew you’d want to see!
