Mobile Traffic on Thanksgiving reached 60 percent and an upward trend was seen on Black Friday. As reported by Internet Retailer, “Early data points to about 15 percent year-over-year e-commerce sales growth year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, with a total of USD 2.6 billion in online spending projected for the day, according to Adobe Digital Index data”. Thanksgiving Day, however, may have put a dent in early Black Friday sales. Record online sales of USD 1.73 billion Thursday were 25 percent higher than in 2014, Adobe said Friday.
