Abstract
While both the number of new Internet users in the US and the number of online
buyers are only growing at single-digit rates, eMarketer estimates that online
sales in 2005 increased a hefty 25%. Baby boomers and digitally literate young
adults, coupled with the spread of broadband access, are changing the way
people shop online- and how Web merchants market to them.

The Retail E-Commerce report tracks the trends that are invigorating B2C
marketing and sales, including unprecedented consumer involvement in product
comparison sites, peer opinions, social networks, discussion boards and blogs.
At the same time, higher broadband penetration is empowering Web merchants to
experiment with product visualization tools that give customers a greater
sense of products that have traditionally only been evaluated up close in
stores.
