Amazon: Cyber Monday, Black Friday 2018 biggest shoppings days ever
- Amazon has said that Cyber Monday was the biggest ever
shopping day in their 24-year history. - It was part of a record-breaking holiday season spanning
Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the weekend, and Cyber Monday. - They say they also shifted “millions” more products from
Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday than during the 2017 holiday period. - Amazon expressed the sales figures as a percentage increase,
rather than dollar amounts.
Amazon say that Cyber Monday smashed the company’s records to
become the biggest shopping day in history.
The company did not release hard figures but said 2018
was “the single biggest shopping day in the company’s
history with the most products ordered worldwide,” a
company press release said on Tuesday.
Amazon also said that the period between Thanksgiving and Cyber
Monday — known as the Turkey-five — also broke the company record
for the most sales worldwide, selling “millions” more products
than the same period in 2017.
Jeff Wilke, CEO of Amazon Worldwide Consumer said: “Black Friday
and Cyber Monday continue to break records on Amazon year over
year, which tells us that customers love shopping for deals to
kick off the holiday shopping season.”
