i swear mobile shopping is taking over everything u can shop anywhere anytime lol. video game consoles and electronics are flying off shelves tho https://newsy.io/article/black-friday-shoppers-spent-6-4b-on-thanksgiving-day/

but like retailers r struggling in-store traffic is down 3.6% and its not just about shopping when you can do it from home, its also about how u shop

I'm not surprised they spent so much online on Black Friday... who needs to leave their house when you can get good deals and avoid traffic? And it's all about convenience now - shopping on your phone, in-store, or even just browsing at home. It's like the whole retail game has shifted . I mean, sure, some stores are doing okay, but for those that don't adapt, it's gonna be a long holiday season .

I think it's crazy how much people are spending online on Black Friday ! $11.8 billion in just a day? That's like buying almost a new city . It's no wonder mobile shopping is killing it, with most sales coming from those tiny screens .

I'm also surprised that video game consoles and electronics are the big winners here . Who knew gamers were the ones driving this online shopping party ? And yeah, rising prices due to tariffs gotta be a thing of concern for businesses . I guess we're just gonna have to get used to paying more for our stuff .

It's all about the shift in holiday shopping habits now, and that's something retailers need to adapt to . More people spending over time, not just one crazy day... it makes sense, I guess . What do you guys think? Are we heading into a brave new world of online shopping, or what?

I'm lovin' this trend ! No wonder retailers are shakin' things up , makin' it easier for us to snag those sweet deals online. Mobile shopping is where it's at and social media's gettin' in on the action ! It's all about convenience now .

But, gotta say, $12.5 million per minute? That's some serious cash flow ! And 9.1% increase from last year? That's a big jump!

I'm curious to see how this'll play out over the weekend and if consumers'll stick to online shopping or venture back in-store . Either way, it's all about savin' those pennies !

I'm loving this trend of more online shopping! I mean, who doesn't love a good deal, right? But what's really cool is that it's not just about one day of deals, it's about spreading out purchases over time too . That way everyone can enjoy their fave gifts without breaking the bank . And hey, even though prices are going up due to tariffs, it's still a win for consumers because they're getting more bang for their buck ! I'm all about finding ways to make shopping work for everyone, especially during the holiday season
