[2-b]

Think back to last year’s holiday shopping season (I know, it was a simpler time). How’d you make out? Even if you spent the holiday season high fiving anyone who crossed your path over your incredible success, this year we’re going to help you top it.

Because in 2019, online shopping on Black Friday hit a record of $5.4 billion spent, while Cyber Monday shoppers spent a record $9.4 billion online. And that was when the biggest safety risk was navigating the Walmart parking lot.
