Published November 30, 2009 11:13 am - Question of the Week: Do you plan to go to the mall or shop online this holiday season? By DUANE NOLLEN The Oskaloosa Herald OSKALOOSA — By a more than 2-1 margin, those readers who answered this past week’s Question of the Week: Do you approve of the job President Obama is doing? said NO.
Twenty-one — 31.82 percent — said YES while 45 — 68.18 percent — answered NO. The Question of the Week poll is not scientific and only reflects the opinions of those Internet users who have chosen to participate. The Question of the Week is just another way the Herald’s readers can voice their opinions about issues that affect them. This week’s Question of the Week deals with holiday shopping. Black Friday kicked off the traditional Christmas shopping season with hordes of people getting up early to shop for good deals. However, more people are doing their shopping online. The Associated Press reported that online sales for Thursday and Friday rose 11 percent to $913 million. A year after suffering the biggest sales decline in four decades, the nation’s merchants pulled out all the stops in stores and online to keep the momentum going for the holiday weekend, further blurring the lines between their Web-based and land-based businesses. Major merchants including J.C. Penney Co. and Sears Holdings Corp., which operates Kmart and Sears, broke new ground this year by making many of their early morning Black Friday specials available on their Web sites at the same time, the AP reported. Do you like getting out to shop, or do you prefer to shop from the comfort of your own home? What do you think? This week’s Question of the Week: Do you plan to go to the mall or shop online this holiday season? People can vote on The Herald’s Web site, oskaloosa.com, from Monday through noon on Friday. Then, votes will be tallied and published the following Monday.
