On Black Friday 2017, data from Adobe Digital Insights stated that “American shoppers spent a record $5 billion in 24 hours” — marking a 16.9% increase in dollars spent online, compared with Black Friday 2016. A big piece of that pie was the nearly $2 billion spent on mobile devices alone (a record 36.9% of all sales and 54.3% of all site visits). Cyber Monday 2017 then hit record-breaking single-day online sales figures at $6.59 billion (again with a record-breaking $2 billion in mobile sales)! And while brick and mortar stores also performed well, it’s increasingly easy to see why your business needs to create or maintain a strong online marketing strategy.
