List of Internet Resources This was actually the pages from a calendar of a collegue of mine:

e-Commerce This is a good source of information on the growth of online shopping: [|Shop.org] Shop.org, a division of the National Retail Federation,is a member-driven trade association whose exclusive focus is to provide a forum for retail executives to share information, lessons-learned, new perspectives, insights and intelligence about online and multichannel retailing.

THIS WAS REMOVED FROM BuILDR M5A. It seems redundant there, but the Statistical Abstract is a great source, so we can use it elsewhere - just need to figure out where. One idea is under advertising (you can get a summary of expenditures by media types and things like that)

The **US Census Bureau** analyzes the data from many different government agencies (including the **Consumer Expenditure Survey**) and provides summary tables of the data in the **Statistical Abstract of the United States**. This source thereby gives you additional information on how consumers spend money in the various categories -- and how much that has changed from year to year.
 * 1) Go to the home page of the **U.S. Census Bureau** [|http://www.census.gov]
 * 2) In the center of the page, look under **Special Topics** and choose **Statistical Abstract**
 * 3) Using the **Browse Section** navigation bar on the left, locate a section of the abstract that is related to a product category of interest to you. This might take some exploring.
 * 4) You may also search the **Statistical Abstract** using **Search the Abstract** in the upper right-hand corner.
 * 5) If you have difficulty finding any results, search for one of the expenditure categories from the **Consumer Expenditure Survey** (above step), revert back to the list of search terms you compiled in M2, or use a broader product definition or a different product that is closely related to your product or industry.

Notice how the expenditures for different product categories have changed over the years. Think about the reasons for those changes.
