Need To Know: Cyber Monday Results!

People took this WAY TOO SERIOUSLY....

THIS WAS THE BIGGEST ONLINE SHOPPING DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET! 
Sorry, I'll calm down a bit now.
According to WWD and the ComScore firm analyzing results, this is the first time online sales surpassed $1 BILLION dollars on a single day!

  • Sales increased 16% beating last year's $887 million in sales. 
  • The number of people shopping also increased by 4% to 9 million.
  • The amount spent by each increased 12% to an average of $114.24
  • The majority of purchases were made by those at work, 52.9%
Taking a look at the Consumer Confidence Index for November it all makes sense: CCI rose to 54.1% in November vs. October's 49.9% 

People are more confident in shopping again! A fantastic sign as we enter the holiday season, so remember to keep your purchases up and take this information to your companies/classrooms and impress!!
