First, we like to thank all of our customers. Raidmax had a
very successful 2016 Thanksgiving weekend. Our sales have topped previous years.
And again, we want to thank all our customers.
After the presidential election, half of the
country was not pleased with the results. People were shaken. There are
reports, more like rumors, stating the Americans will be on depression because
the country is divided in half, which predicted could affect the economy. Some
people are scared, some are this, and some are that. They were wrong. In fact,
Cyber Monday 2016 was the biggest day in the history of U.S. e-commerce.
Consumers spent $3.45 billion online on Monday, according to
Adobe Digital Insights; the spending was easily passed from the initial
estimates from continuing a strong Thanksgiving Black Friday
weekend. Adobe has been gathering retail data from 22.6 billion visits to
retail websites over the Thanksgiving holiday. On Black Friday, a
new record was set with $3.34 billion spent online. The number
shows, American consumers are breaking records, making history and
shopping just a little bit differently than before. Perhaps in their pajamas?
Now more than ever people choose to shop at home, online style.
What is Adobe Digital Insights? "Adobe Digital Insights
publishes research on digital marketing and other topics of interest to senior
marketing and e-commerce executives across industries. Research is based on the
analysis of select, anonymous, and aggregated data from more than 5,000
companies worldwide that use the Adobe Marketing Cloud to obtain real-time data
and analysis of activity on websites, social media, and advertising."
There you have it. American’s spending power is growing year
by year. And let’s hope the economy will continue to grow in this country.
Sincerely,
Andrew Young
VP of Business Development
