You’re most likely still recovering from a turkey and football-filled day of Thanksgiving festivities and Black Friday shopping, so I’ll keep this short.
First of all, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by your loved ones, with plenty of delicious food, laughter and good times. Maybe even a little football in between.
Perhaps you even managed to get some Black Friday shopping done yesterday, and if you didn’t feel like leaving the house, you’re likely planning on grabbing some juicy Cyber Monday deals.
In fact, Forbes predicted that “consumers plan to spend an average of $567 during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events, which would be an increase of 13% from last year.” The article continued by stating, “And Millennials are expected to drive 43% of the sales, with 68% planning on buying gifts for themselves.”
We’ll see how the actual numbers compare with the predictions once the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping stats come out. Indeed, the trend for online spending has only increased over the past several years, especially now with Cyber Monday bookending the Thanksgiving weekend.
