On Friday, Americans flocked to their computers, tablets, and cellphones and spent a whopping $9 billion in just 24 hours. An increase of 2.3% from last years’ sales - Adobe Analytics cited the increase was partially due to consumers waiting until November 25^th to purchase items versus taking advantage of the Black Friday deals that began earlier this year.
