Which segments fared the best? ECommerce Guide takes a look at the latest online holiday shopping totals.
Thanks in part to a major snowstorm that kept many Americans on the East Coast homebound in the days following Christmas, Internet retailers posted another strong week of sales, vaulting this year's online holiday shopping season to a new record.
