Holiday Shopping 2007

by Brian Smith, on November 18th, 2007

Yes, I’ve been all doom and gloom lately, but holiday shopping still kicks off this week.

I’ll have a more in depth look at each holiday shopping site soon, but here are the basic links:
-Yahoo Shopping’s Holiday Gift Guide features top holiday gifts, gifts for giving, green gifts, and a prominent coupon section.
-Shopping.com’s Holiday Picks features 20 picks (for her, him, kids, and the whole family).
-PriceGrabber’s Holiday Shopping Guide is heavy on the sponsorships, but also features a last minute shopping section through which consumers can shop by delivery date.
-Become’s Holiday Gift Guide is just that, a nice guide to Holiday Decorations & Wrapping, Gift Cards, and more.
MSN Shopping’s Holiday Gift Shop has little editorial content at this point (although I suspect that will change), but slices and dices gift guides in every way imaginable: Media Maniac, Sports Pro, and Beauty Buff.

Great & timely post for all of us in the commerce space. Be sure to check out what we’re doing at ExpoTV to bring new forms of video to the Holidays. You can see it at http://www.expotv.com/holiday . Our partner Smarter.com also featuring daily highlights on their home page.

Amazon also has one (for toys)… I wrote about it earlier on my blog.

I have heard for several months that Smarter is to integrate video product reviews on the site. Last I heard was that this initiative was moved back due to their recent acquisition. We look forward to submitting videos once this feature is up.

Brian: it strikes me that there’s not that much “new” this holiday season. Is anyone really doing any thing innovative or different among the engines from a user perspective?

Grrr. Something is very off with the formatting. Sorry! New blog design will hopefully fix the problem.
