Most Popular Flash Sales sites by visits:
The latest report out by Hitwise on flash sales sites shows some remarkable data.
Online shoppers’ love for the thrill of snagging designer clothing, home décor, travel and even wine have caused visits to the category to increase 368% in July 2011 as compared to the same month two years ago and 109% one year ago.
It’s more clear than ever that private and flash sales are rapidly emerging as the cornerstone of Ecommerce 2.0 placing emphasis on discovery, inspiration, and retail-as-media.
It’s also fascinating that pure-play travel site, LivingSocial Escapes, snagged the #3 spot on the list over veterans like Gilt, Woot, and OneKingsLane. This is only the beginning of the move to redefine the ecommerce experience.
