This Thanksgiving holiday shopping weekend was Amazon’s biggest ever, with customers around the world purchasing hundreds of millions of products between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday.
“This was a record-breaking holiday shopping weekend for Amazon. Customers shopped millions of deals this weekend and we have many more amazing deals to come,” said Doug Herrington, CEO, WW Amazon Stores. “Thank you to our customers for choosing to shop on Amazon, and to our employees and selling partners around the world who are delivering for customers every day.”
Amazon reported that US-based 3rd Party Amazon Sellers generated over $1 Billion in sales over the 4-day holiday shopping weekend.
Overall shopping numbers increased, with online Black Friday sales up 2.3% from last year and Cyber Monday figures 5.8% higher, going against many analysts forecasting significant consumer weakness going into the Q4 holiday shopping season.
