On today’s Teleforum, Mike Romigh asked Dr. Audry Gusky, Assistant Professor of Marketing at Duquesne University, if the stores have taken the fun out of holiday shopping, to which she responded, they have simply made it easier, which is what people wanted. Consumers spent 21.6 percent more online Friday than they did a year earlier on the day after Thanksgiving.
