Amazon Bucks Traditional Retail Sales Trend This Holiday Season




Amazon’s latest press release boasts some pretty good numbers this holiday season, despite a very tough economy and sales with traditional retailers. According to Amazon, 2008 was its best year ever and sales peaked highest on December 15th, with a sale of a gigantic sum of 6.3 million orders placed on that day alone!


Adylon is also a seller on Amazon.com where we currently list hundreds of wedding bands and some sliver jewelry items, we noticed the same trend. Sales were sharply up compared to last year, the number of units (items sold) were also up however larger ticket item prices for us were down.

Amazon did not provide sales figures or give any indication of percentage growth for the season so I am pretty much assuming they have had noticed the same trend we have, which is the number of items sold is up, however the average ticket price is probably down.

According to Amazon, the top selling jewelry items were a 14K white gold Journey Curve pendant (0.5 carats, H color, I1 clarity), a pair of diamond stud earrings set in platinum (1 carat, G-H color, VS2 clarity) and a sterling silver marcasite & garnet glass heart pendant.

  1. This chain was a Christmas gift for a friend. I and she were very pleased with the quality of the chain. I found that the seller described the chain accurately and sent it promptly. I would do business with the seller again and would recommend the experience and the quality of the chain to anyone.cow hides
