Amazon Confirms Cyber Monday Was Its Biggest Shopping Day Ever
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) said on Tuesday that its customers shopped at record levels again this holiday season, making Cyber Monday "the single biggest shopping day in the company's history," based on the number of items ordered worldwide. Amazon also said that Black Friday was a roaring success, breaking previous records and turning in the "best-ever Black Friday in the company's history."
That theme continued throughout Amazon's press release, which revealed that independent third-party sellers -- mostly small- and medium-sized businesses -- "sold more items on Cyber Monday than any other 24-hour period in the company's history." Moreover, during the five days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, customers ordered more than 25 million home items and more than 4 million beauty items.
In true Amazon fashion, the company left out any meaningful sales numbers, though it provided plenty of mouthwatering data points for Amazon investors to dig into.
