Cyber Monday: Will you Contribute to $1 Billion in Online Shopping this Year?

Give me just a second ... I need to enter my security code so I can buy a sweater online ... 

ooooh, what's that? A Cyber Monday deal on watches? Oh! Look, half off boots on this website!

Sorry, is anyone else distracted by online shopping deals today?

You're not the only one! According to comScore, you're one of the shoppers contributing to a record-breaking $1 billion in expected sales on Cyber Monday. That's a 16 percent increase from last year.

“The online holiday shopping season has clearly gotten off to a very strong start, which is welcome news. At the same time, it’s important to note that some of the early strength in consumer spending is almost certainly the result of retailers’ heavier-than-normal promotional and discounting activity at this early point in the season. So, while we anticipate that there will be more billion-dollar spending days ahead as we get deeper into the season, only time will tell if overall consumer online spending remains at the elevated levels we’ve seen thus far," said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni.
