Black Friday: I finally had to quit watching CNBC earlier in the week when I got tired of every talking head telling us that the consumer was cash-poor, credit cards were maxed out, and Black Friday would be a disappointment. All figures have not yet come in but online numbers are now being reported.
I think I see the word "record" in this headline:
From the linked article:
Early Black Friday sales data is pointing to a healthy start to the holiday shopping season—at least online.
Despite industry expectations for slowing retail sales growth overall this year, Adobe said Black Friday online sales in the U.S. reached a record $9.8 billion on Black Friday, a 7.5% year-over-year increase.
The analytics firm expects consumers to spend another $10 billion to be spent over the weekend and $12 billion on Cyber Monday.
Online sales reached $70.9 billion globally, an 8% increase from Black Friday last year. Black Friday global online sales were $65.3 billion last year.
In the U.S., online sales increased 9% to $16.4 billion globally, according to the Salesforce data. A Salesforce spokesperson said the figures beat what the company was expecting.
It gets tedious. I wonder if Fox will report this.
