RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With Christmas right around the corner, a new national survey shows more women are joining the ranks of last-minute shoppers. More than 2,200 American moms and dads responded to the survey, which was commissioned by electronics retailer Circuit City Stores, Inc. More than half of survey respondents indicated they are usually still shopping for gifts within a week of the holiday, and one in five confessed they only finish shopping on Christmas Eve. The number of women admitting they shop at the last minute nearly doubled from a similar survey conducted just two years ago, and now closely resembles the number of male procrastinators (20 percent of moms, 22 percent of dads). Time-starved shoppers are using a combination of strategies to beat the clock and complete their holiday gift buying. Buy online, pick up in stores: * 59 percent said they prefer to shop in stores and online * 57 percent said it's important to let shoppers choose between picking up their online purchase in a nearby store or having the product shipped Circuit City, a leader in fulfilling online purchases in stores, offers shoppers a 24/24 Pickup Guarantee(SM). This fast and convenient pickup feature guarantees that Web orders placed for in-store pickup will be ready within 24 minutes, or customers will receive a $24 gift card. Customers can use this feature when shopping online (or by calling 1-800-THE-CITY) through 5:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Note that our stores will close on Christmas Eve at 6:00 p.m. local time. Gift Cards: Good news for last-minute shoppers: 97 percent of survey respondents said they like to receive gift cards, which are quick and easy to purchase. When asked specifically why they enjoy receiving gift cards, respondents said: * they can get the gift they want, when they want it (59 percent) * a gift card liberates the recipient to get something they normally wouldn't (23 percent) * they can combine gift cards to purchase something bigger (11 percent) This holiday season, Circuit City is offering a DVD interactive gift card that includes downloadable goodies such as a holiday game, holiday screen savers, printable gift tags, free songs and an offer for 50 free song downloads. DVD interactive gift cards are available for purchase in-store only.
