Cyber Monday Spend Year over Year

NRF reported more than 174 million Americans shopped in stores and online during the long holiday weekend. Cyber Monday shaped up to be the largest single day in shopping history with a reported $6.5B in transactions. Mobile also saw big jumps over last year as the preferred method of shopping. Multi-channel shoppers proved to be biggest spenders outpacing online and in store only shoppers. What remains to be seen is if this shopping uptick will sustain itself through the entire holiday season or turn into Dealcember.

While traditionally applied to human psychology, it also serves as a strategic lens for examining the various stages of a customer’s journey, highlighting what customers need and expect at every touchpoint.
