Black Friday and Cyber Monday…Will They Rock?

November 21, 2009

The oddsmakers and forecasters are already at work calculating how much we’ll spend on Black Friday–the day after Thanksgiving–and Cyber Monday, the Monday following the holiday weekend. In our internet age, these two days form the official opening the Christmas shopping season and usually are a strong predictor of how much shoppers will buy for the holidays generally. This season there’s a few new wrinkles–aside from the economy–so it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Over at online betting zone Bookmaker, they’ve put out their oddsmaking team’s predictions. The majority of the team says between 161 million and 180 million of us will hit the stores and websites on Black Friday, and we’ll spend between $300-$400 per shopper. Second-best odds were for 131 million to 161 million shoppers spending $250-$300 apiece.
