　　According to a survey by Vipshop Holdings and the Economist¹ Intelligence Unit on the increased buying power of female consumers in Asia, nearly 30% of Asian women shop online from bed at night and 40% shop online at work.

　　The survey found many Asian women think that home is the best place to shop, with 78% there using a PC, 45% using smartphones and 25% using tablets.
