54% Of People Will Shop With Their Smartphones This Holiday Season

In total, a record 155 million US consumers plan to shop during Black Friday and the surrounding week, with more than 70 percent of those shoppers (116 million Americans) planning to shop online. Amazon offered in 2014, three “coveted” deals of the day on Thanksgiving at midnight plus another three on Black Friday. It makes sense to wait for that deal, which will also be available in the Amazon Black Friday sale.

“Year after year, more and more customers shop for deals on Amazon from the comfort of their own home, and we continue to make that process even more convenient for them”.

Black Friday is November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving. According to Wired, this week, Amazon will start its Black Friday deals as early as November 20 with new deals added on its dedicated Black Friday page, and it will be updated with sale offerings as often as every five minutes, which is twice the pace past year. Beginning at 4 p.m. EST until 10 p.m. EST, competing deals will be featured on each side of the wishbone, and the item that receives the most votes over the course of an hour will be released to shoppers in a limited quantity.

The Google study said that 54% of all customers would be shopping on their smartphones when they have time to do so and 61% of shoppers have already started buying or researching holiday gifts.

Meanwhile, Newegg isn’t the only retailer offering huge savings before, during, and after Black Friday. The majority of participating shops will open at 8am on the Friday and close at 7pm. Let me tell you what Black Friday is actually about.
