Ebates Forecasts Heavy Online Shopping for President’s Day Weekend

As traditional brick-and-mortar sales move online this weekend, so too will shoppers

SAN FRANCISCO--()--Ebates.com, the pioneer and leader in online cash back shopping predicts a strong President’s Day weekend thanks to the continuing trend of heavier increases in retail shopping online as compared to at brick-and-mortar stores. Last year, stores featured in the Ebates President’s Day sales promotions enjoyed a 90% increase in year-over-year sales and Ebates fully expects to meet or exceed those numbers this year.

“During this President’s Day weekend, we will see the continuation of the strong trends that played out during the Q4 holiday season of traditional in-store sales moving online and savvy shoppers increasing their online spending,” says Ebates CEO, Kevin H. Johnson. “The convenience of shopping online coupled with the wide range of 1,500 online stores offering great deals via Ebates.com, gives shoppers easy access to the best deals in one place and we are certain to see the continuation of strong year-over-year growth.”

Ebates reported its most successful Q4 holiday shopping season ever. During the months of November and December of 2011, more than $264 million dollars were spent on the site.

Ebates President’s Day sales promotion runs through February 21st. Shoppers can get up to double cash-back at stores like Dell Home, HP Home Store, HSN, Lands’ End, and Sears.com and can find thousands of online coupons.

“I am planning on taking advantage of Ebates’ President’s Day sale this year and getting some cash back,” says Sheila Winslow, a 37-year old mom of two from Menlo Park, California. “We’re looking at buying some furniture and new bedding and that’s the next holiday when the deals come out!”
