Seattle-based Amazon.com proved it’s tops in online retailers, scoring the most online shoppers in a record-breaking Black Friday.
This year, Black Friday online sales surpassed the $1 billion mark for the first time, and Amazon led the pack in the number of online visitors recorded on the heavy shopping day.
ComScore, an online measurement company, reports that Amazon topped the list of destinations for the 57.3 million Americans that shopped online on Friday.
Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Apple were the next most popular sites among online shoppers.
ComScore predicts Cyber Monday will be even bigger for online retailers. Since 2010, Cyber Monday has been the biggest online shopping day of the year. ComScore predicts sales on this Cyber Monday could surpass $1.5 billion.
