Perhaps you’ve noticed our newest toy:

We answer a lot of questions here at the Business and Economics Library, and we’re always happy to help. But some people like to help themselves.

These can be exported to excel, jpeg, or PowerPoint and have citations built-in for easy usage.

In addition, eMarketer provides detailed reports on industry and consumer trends. For instance, in the “Online Holiday Shopping Preview,” eMarketer reported, “Consumers have become more resourceful and versatile at finding deals online. They effortlessly move across sites offering coupons, Black Friday promotions, flash sales, daily deals and comparison shopping tools.” This type of information allows companies to create better strategies to engage customers.
