Internet Retailer is conducting a survey to find out what Internet companies are doing to gear up for the holidays and when they start doing it. As they put it:

Here’s your chance to see how your online holidays sales and preparations compare to the rest of the e-retailing industry.

This month’s survey addresses key holiday merchandising, marketing and technology issues and trends, with an eye toward measuring how successful retailers are in attracting holiday traffic and converting visitors to buyers.

The results of the survey will be published in the November 2 (2006) Internet Retailer NewsLink and the November issue of Internet Retailer.
