WASHINGTON: Online sales during the US retail sector’s Cyber Monday promotion grew 16 percent from last year to $2.29bn, lifted by more shopping on mobile devices.
The Adobe Digital Index survey said online sales reflected an 80 percent jump in sales from mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Cyber Monday stems from the early days of the Internet, when consumers would use their fast Internet connections at work to make online holiday purchases.
Adobe’s online shopping data is based on an analysis of nearly 900 million visits to 2,000 retailer websites on Cyber Monday and more than three billion visits since Thanksgiving Day.
