Cyber Monday — expected to be the biggest online shopping day of the year — got off to an early start after Black Friday sales wrapped up.
Why it matters: Online holiday shopping is growing at a slower pace than in past years but it continues to break records, according to Adobe Analytics.
- Many Black Friday sales continued through Saturday, which was also Small Business Saturday.
By the numbers: Consumers spent $5.29 billion on Thanksgiving Day, a 2.9% increase over last year, per Adobe.
- A record $9.12 billion was spent online for Black Friday, with electronics driving much of the growth compared to last year, according to Adobe.
- Cyber Monday is projected to grow 5.1% over last year with $11.2 billion in sales, Adobe said.
Meanwhile, Cyber Week, the five days from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, is expected to generate $34.8 billion in online spending and represent 16.3% of the November to December holiday season, Adobe projects.
- Computers and furniture are expected to have the biggest discounts this Cyber Monday, Adobe said.
Here are some of the details about some of the biggest Cyber Monday sales:
