How are retailers encouraging people to shop online this year?

Shoppers will be able to find great deals throughout the Internet this holiday season. Most online retailers will be promoting some kind of free shipping offer during the holidays. Some companies will also be adding "early shopper" discounts and "first time buyer" discounts this year.

Companies also know that consumers use the web to look for gift ideas, compare prices and research products. As a result, websites are ramping up gift idea centers to help people get holiday ideas. Also, retailers are putting more information about specific products on the web, making it easier for customers to determine what they want to buy before heading to the store.

Do retailers get upset when consumers shop online rather than in stores?

Not at all. Retailers look at the Internet as another way for them to provide services and a shopping experience that their customers want. The Internet is another way for retailers to attract customers, sell merchandise and promote products. There is no question that the Internet has made the retail industry more competitive, but that ends up helping consumers in the long run with lower prices and better promotions.

How do I know how much has been contributed to cancer research from each purchase I make?

The CRA will receive a different contribution percentage from each merchant, depending on what you buy at that merchant's site. View the merchant's information page for specific details. Because we cannot guarantee a specific amount, the amount displayed in the mall is an estimate.
