Sears Holdings boasts about holiday Web site traffic

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. Sears Holdings announced that its Web sites were highly trafficked during the holiday season, due to new product categories and new functionalities designed to provide shopping solutions to customers.

"We would like to thank our customers who helped make the Web sites of Sears Holdings amazing successes this holiday season. We actively listen to customer feedback and because of that, we were able to provide both exciting and unique products and services," said Imran Jooma, SVP online at Sears Holdings. "Our customers motivate us to continually improve our store and online offerings. As a result, we were able to launch such programs as, international shipping, Sears2Go - our easy-to-use mobile commerce site, a gift finder, and many other features to make shopping easier. We were thrilled to make holiday shopping in 2009 more convenient than ever before."

The company attributed much of its success to its new ShopYourWay program, a service that enables shoppers to order online and pick up in store or order through their mobile phones.
