Black Friday 2020 broke all records, while the following Cyber Monday became the biggest shopping day in US history. Staying at home, the American consumer spent $19.8 billion across Friday and Monday. In contrast, there was a 16.7% YoY drop in Black Friday payments in the UK. So, how did retailers revise their reductions amid the new normal?
