eBags Delivers Record Holiday Sales, Up 29%

eBags announced that December sales eclipsed the company's previous single month record, increasing 29% year over year. Visitors to the site also were strong, increasing 28% versus the previous year. Said Vince Jones, eBags' CEO, "the holidays kicked off with our Black Friday up 66% and we rode the momentum from there. When all was said and done, eBags had four of its five largest sales days ever during holiday '09. One highlight was our luggage sales, which were up 68% in December. And although value was key in consumer's minds this holiday, we were able to keep our average ticket equal to last year."

eBags, known for allowing shoppers to comment on any of the 43,000 products they feature, also announced they surpassed 1.9 million customer reviews on their website. In addition, the company is continuing to grow its Facebook and Twitter fan bases as well.
