Online Holiday Spending in 2010: $36.4 Billion https://blog.jess3.com/2010/12/online-holiday-spending-in-2010-364.html https://blog.jess3.com/2010/12/online-holiday-spending-in-2010-364.html#respond Tue, 28 Dec 2010 19:10:00 +0000 Jesse Thomas /2010/12/online-holiday-spending-in-2010-364.html As eweek.com reports, “[d]uring the period Oct. 31 to Dec. 24, U.S. consumers spent an estimated $36.4 billion [online], a 15.4 percent year-on-year increase over the 2009 holiday season.”

To put this in to perspective:

*The US population is approximately 310,540,714. Stated differently, the online holiday spend equates to just about ~$117 per person.

*If the $36.4 billion were used to pay down the US Debt clock (~$13.9 trillion), the holiday spend would reduce the US debt by 0.26%.

*Natural catastrophes and man-made disasters in 2010 cost the global insurance industry $36 billion. (Source)

*In 2002, Microsoft was sitting on $36 billion in cash and short-term securities. (Source)

*South Korea plans to spend $36 billion on clean energy by 2015. (Source)

*ExxonMobile posted a record $36 billion profit in 2005. (Source)

*Sprint paid $36 billion for Nextel, but will phase it out from 2013-2015. (Source)

*Birdwatching contributed $36 billion to the US economy in 2009. (Source)

*Russia’s defense budget in 2010 is $36 billion. (Source)

Spend wisely, and enjoy the holidays!

Creative Corporate Christmas Presents https://blog.jess3.com/2006/12/creative-corporate-christmas-presents.html https://blog.jess3.com/2006/12/creative-corporate-christmas-presents.html#respond Tue, 26 Dec 2006 17:31:00 +0000 Jesse Thomas /2006/12/creative-corporate-christmas-presents.html Why do so many companies treat potential users so much better than existing users? we shouldn’t forget about the people that made our year so memorable…

It doesn’t have to be expensive (it is a business after all), just imaginative… Something that screams your company’s culture and provides a reason to pause. And if you feel like testing out present ideas, send em on through to me for ‘review’

This year at Ogilvy we were given a nice blanket that happened to be the nice dark ogilvy red. A nice useable valuable gift.. (Grade: b minus).. not too original.. but useable enough to make up for it. and the logo embroidery was nicely done.

Personally, I think a bottle of champagne is the perfect xmas gift. the timing is perfect.. you give it on the 25th (or before) and they have it on hand for new years.. its reasonably priced.. and versatile.. some bottles cost more than the other.. you can buy in bulk for a discount.. to kick it up a notch you can put it in a gift bag.. or wrap it in tissue paper.. etc
