The Index which tracks sales and transactions
for 50 top e-retailers indicated a 24% increase in sales and a 36%
increase in transactions.
Chase Paymentech reported a single-day record
for both transactions and settled sales on Tuesday,
29th November 2011 – when many Cyber
Monday purchases were settled – with transactions up 37% from
2010.
“Cyber Monday has historically been the
biggest single day of the season, and so far that’s true again,”
said Mike Duffy, president of Chase Paymentech.
“In addition, e-commerce is now an established
part of the Black Friday phenomenon, as consumers take advantage of
online shopping deals as well as Black Friday in-store bargains,”
said Duffy.
