Surfers respond to quick sales
The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, WA) August 20, 2001 | Compiled by Rick House Despite the grim outlook for most dot-coms, two major Web measurement firms report online shopping from familiar retailers is still a thriving business. go to web site american airlines promotion code
Last week, American Airlines held a one-day sale, and adults flew to the site in record numbers. The American Airlines promotion sent Web surfers flocking to the Travelocity Web site (www.travelocity.com) to buy the discount tickets.
According to Web measurement firm Nielsen/NetRatings, traffic to the travel-oriented Web site was up 74 percent the day of the promotion.
Daily traffic to Travelocity spiked to 436,000 unique visitors who spent about 8 minutes each on the site — presumably looking for discount flights on American Airlines.
“One-day promotions can be very effective in attracting potential customers,” said NetRatings Director and Chief Analyst Lisa Strand. She said this type of “one-day-only” special causes consumers to respond quicker than they might otherwise.
If other online pursuits besides shopping interest you, here are some Web sites worth considering:
* Talking to Koko: In 1971, Francine “Penny” Patterson began teaching Koko, a newborn lowland gorilla, American Sign Language. Koko proved an able pupil, and her vocabulary has grown to 1,000 words. This Web site has interesting and informative information for kids and parents alike.
First stop for elementary-age students should be the excellent Koko’s Kids Club. Older students will find oodles of information about the amazing “talking” Koko in Koko’s World, plus general gorilla background material in About Gorillas. Teachers can receive a free information packet by clicking on the Teacher icon at the top of the Kids Club. website american airlines promotion code
