Black Friday breaks record in online shopping
Black Friday is in the record books. The busy shopping day saw $7.4 billion in online sales. That's the second largest online sales day ever. Black Friday was also the biggest day ever for mobile shopping: $2.9 billion in sales came from smartphones alone. Meantime, brick-and-mortar stores saw a sharp decline. Shopper visits decreased by 3% when compared to the same days last year.
