Hello Folks,
Oh Boy !! What a Black Friday/ Cyber Monday week this was. Hope you all have settled down by now after doing a lot of online shopping.
I want to thank all of you who were following some of my previous posts related to Black Friday Deals and recommend others reading this to follow my blogs as they might find some good deals still on my
webstore !!.
So lets quickly talk about the article by Ingrid Lunden about sales on Black Friday 2017 !!
Lunden reveals that the final figures for Black Friday came in with another record-breaking day in e-commerce in the U.S. Shoppers spent
$5.03 billion online in a race for bargains for themselves and to gift to others.
The final totals are a rise of 16.9 percent compared to Black Friday 2016. One thing to keep in mind though is that, while we are collectively seeing a larger volume of sales, on a per-sale level things are actually holding steady. The average order value was $135, which is up just 0.9 percent over 2016’s Black Friday average.
The bigger shift is in how we are shopping. Purchases made on mobile devices have so far totaled a record 36.9 percent of all sales, and 54.3 percent of all site visits. This works out to just under
$2 billion in sales. Smartphones accounted for 44.6% of visits and 26.0% of revenue.
So the trend of online shopping is on the rise as we can see and more and more retailers are heading towards e-commerce to benefit from this trend.
Ok so here is the question. Can you guess what the expected sales will be in the US on
