According to comScore chairman, Gian Fulgoni, last year, Cyber Monday was the heaviest day of online spending ever, with sales exceeding $1 billion. Retailers are expecting the trend to extend into 2011, and Cyber Monday to beat Black Friday in terms of sales.
Black Friday has already generated $816 million in online sales, being the heaviest online spending day to date in 2011, and representing a 26-percent increase versus Black Friday 2010.
