Well, today is cyber monday, and while you might find some deals online, many retailers started marking down their products long before whats been in the past, known as the busiest Online Shopping day of the year. Meantime, online sales for black friday dropped. For the first time, data from Adobe Analytics Shows Consumers spent about 8. 9 billion thats less than last years record of nine billion, which was an increase of more than 21 year over year. Experts say its a sign that consumers are spreading out there shopping over the Holiday Season instead of focusing on just one day reporter Alexandra Hoff shows us what Online Shoppers can expect on this cyber monday today. Black friday isnt the king. It used to be for retailers. Its not even really just a day anymore, with sales starting in store and online weeks earlier, while black friday foot traffic was down, compared with pre pandemic levels, it was up from last year, perhaps signaling some brick and mortar nostalgia after nearly two years of shopping, online online sales actually fell for the first time friday, according to Adobe Analytics. Retailers racked up 8. 9 billion in cyber sales this year. Compared with nine billion on the same day in 2020. People were worried about supplies in the last two months, and we saw it big jump in retail sales that came earlier than a lot of people expected in order to break the cyber monday record set in 2019 consumers will have to spend over 9. 4 billion the National Retail federation expects holiday sales from november to december to rise 8. 5 to 10. 5 over 843 billion.

They always say that its a silent text, but people exactly are feeling it because as their wages are growing up, inflation is going up. Even faster supply chain issues have also given retailers a lot to make up for as many large chains have been forced to spend more to meet demand while dealing with loss of sales due to low inventory. And labor shortages to boot. Consumers may also be eyeing up markdowns that arent as deep as they used to be, especially when factoring in that sale prices are falling on top of items that are already for expensive.
