Oprah's Wish List Stops By Target as Brick & Mortar Takes Center Stage

Has holiday shopping finally reached the tipping point, and if so -- what does it mean for brick and mortar retailers? This is the question being asked right now, as retailers like Target and Wal-Mart look at their future in a digital shopping economy. Wal-Mart breaks down its annual online sales figures in reports; Target does not -- other than to say its e-haul is meager compared to its stores. Target is offering holiday shipping discounts, and scored a pass onto Oprah's coveted wish list -- so the company still may get the boost it needs, but it must catch up on the digital front.
