ComScore, a leader in measuring the digital world, today reported its tracking of holiday season retail e-commerce spending for the first 31 days of the November – December 2008 holiday season. For the holiday season-to-date, $12.03 billion has been spent online, marking a 2 percent decline versus the corresponding days last year. However, Cyber Monday saw $846 million in online spending, up 15 percent. The four-day period from Black Friday through Cyber Monday saw e-commerce spending jump 13 percent as both weekend days and Monday all achieved double-digit gains.
