Sortprice.com Offers Consumers Five Great Reasons to Shop Online and Save Money this Holiday Season



Sortprice.com one of the internet'ss fastest growing shopping search engines, is already seeing evidence to indicate consumers are increasingly turning to the internet for holiday shopping this year, and recommends that every American consider an all-online approach to gift shopping in 2008.

The old cliche has never been truer than it is now as we approach the holiday shopping season: every penny does indeed count, says Asaf Klibansky, Sortprice co-founder and CTO. Folks are looking for ways to stretch their dollar and many of them are wisely turning to the internet to ensure their holidays don'st suffer as a result of this economic downturn.

Klibansky noticed a substantial jump in traffic on Sortprice leading up to Halloween, indicating many consumers were forsaking malls and costume stores to shop online instead. That trend has continued now that the busier and more frantic holiday season is here--despite continued economic woes.

The all-online approach is simply the easiest and most effective way to save money on gifts, based on five major benefits:

> Keep the Car in the Garage: money saved on gas (and even parking) will cover a few more gifts and ensures you don'st have to leave anyone off your list.

> Selection, Selection, Selection: there'ss no mall on the planet that offers as many choices as a good shopping site like Sortprice, where you can compare prices on sneakers and DVDs, for example, without running from store to store.

> 24/7 Convenience: don'st be handcuffed by operating hours ever again; shop at home when you want without worrying about crowds and lines. The internet never closes!

> Going Green: the internet offers the widest possible selection of gifts to lower your carbon footprint and help you do your part for the planet.

> Shipping Deals: many online retailers offer reduced or even free shipping, meaning you don'st have to worry about added costsor throwing your back out unloading gifts from the car!

Electronics should be the leading product category for gifts this year, according to Klibansky, with jewelry, books and DVDs, and of course, toys expected to top shoppers's wish lists as well. To learn more about the all-online approach visit: www.sortprice.com.
