Holiday Shopping with Google

Cyber Monday represents the day after Thanksgiving and is known as one of the busiest shopping days of the year. In the last years, as online shopping was continuously developing, Cyber Monday became a reason for promotions and discounts.

As Cyber Monday is approaching, Google released Google Checkout, a tool that will allow customers to buy products using this service.

"Google Checkout eliminates an average of 15 steps from the online checkout process, in many cases making checking out as simple as entering a single login. This can save a lot of time for online shoppers, who will visit an average of 5.5 websites for holiday gifts this season, according to the survey.

For the holidays, Google Checkout will also be offering users a variety of promotions for their holiday shopping. Through Tuesday, December 26, users will receive $10 off purchases of $30 or more, or $20 off purchases of $50 or more, depending on the merchant. And best of all, these promotions are reusable, no special registration is necessary, and there are none of the delays that come with rebates -- users will automatically see the credits applied as they make their purchases. For example, if users visit an average of five participating websites, they can redeem the promotion on each of those sites and save at least $50 on their holiday shopping," the company said.

The service will be available starting November 27, 2006, and find information about latest promotions and discounts visit the official website.
