The holiday shopping season is big business for online retailers. In fact, Statista reports holiday ecommerce sales in 2016 topped out at more than 80 billion dollars. That is enough to pay the salary of every high school teacher in the US for two years.
On November 27th, 2017 (Cyber Monday) alone, online shoppers spent 3.364 billion dollars, up 700,000 million from 2016.
