Black Friday sales fall 10%
  • image

    Total sales in the US on Black Friday fell 10% to $10.4bn this year, down from $11.6bn in 2014, according to research firm ShopperTrak.

    The decline in sales on the traditional busiest shopping day of the year has been blamed on shops opening the day before. But this year, sales on Thanksgiving also dropped, and by the same percentage, to $1.8bn.

  • Seems to me that shopping habits are just changing. Now Cyber Monday and after is where a lot of sales are being moved. I expect that sales overall will be up for the season when it's all over.
