Almost everyone uses Internet to do shopping research (if not buy) online.
However, naturally, (like with “traditional shopping) it varies for different people.
Shopping online is fun for some people and the unexplored area for others.
So what type of an online shopper are you? Can you tell?
First, please take the following quiz and then we’ll see who is who!

I think you can apply the same "persona-cats" to how people view emails from online retailers:
E-Shopping Newbie: Yay! I get all these fun deals in my inbox from all the stores I shop at.
Upside: Look at all the shiny cool stuff!
Downside: By day 3... Okay, enough of that... "unsubscribe"
Shopping Skeptic: I don't get emails because stores are just trying to sell me stuff that I don't want to buy
Upside: I don't make impulse purchases
Downside: I don't get coupon codes or get notified when things are on sale
Shopping Geek: I have my separate email account already set up where store emails get automatically categorized in 15 different ways
Upside: I'm totally hooked up to find the best deals and the coolest stuff
Downside: I just wasted 3 weeks of my life setting this thing up
The Enthusiast Shopper: I get emails from 25 stores in my personal inbox
Upside: I see all the deals and updates from my all the stores I like immediately, so I'm ready to shop 24/7
Downside: I missed that urgent email from my sister asking me to pick up her kids for her because it got bumped to page 2 of my inbox by all the store emails... Oh well, they need to learn how to survive on their own anyway...
Genius addition, Josh! Thanks!
What's with the kittens? I'm totally skeptical about shopping online and skeptical about the cats.
