During the five-day holiday shopping period last year (from Thanksgiving Day to Cyber Monday), a record 196.7 million people shopped in the US alone. Not only that, Cyber Monday was the biggest holiday-shopping day of the year in terms of sales, outperforming even Black Friday.
What does this mean for you as an online business owner? Black Friday is going to be big, but hold your breath because Cyber Monday is going to be even bigger.
