I just ran across this interesting statistic in a flyer from the Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training:

Honolulu ranked fourth in percent of adults who spent over $500 online in the past year. Washington DC was first at 39%, followed by San Francisco, Seattle, then Honolulu at 33%. –Nielsen survey, December 2008

There is a lot of money to be made online in Honolulu! I wonder why Washington DC is #1. It wouldn't have been my first guess.

ROFL! You shouldn't say that. Now our web guys will start paying street thugs to drive up online prices!

As for Washington DC, it's probably because it's too dangerous to walk the streets there. :P
The psychological equation of the local buyer and related commerce

Shipping + Taxes + Costs of Running a Business in Hawaii = Local Hawaii prices too high

Local Hawaii prices too high + Free shipping offers online + Lower prices online = Much cheaper to buy online for Hawaii

I can't decide if that is something we should be proud of. :-)

Hey, Hawaii ranks #2 in use of online porn site. That's a good percentage of the online spending right there.
