Even though the year over year growth percentage for online sales has slowed compared to previous pandemic years, the world of ecommerce is still growing in size and complexity. Here are some of the key statistics for last year\u2019s holiday activity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From October 1st through November 28th (Cyber Monday), $210 billion dollars were spent by consumers in total. \u00b9 That\u2019s $5 billion more than 2021 and $22 billion more than 2020.<\/li>\n<li>According to Adobe Analytics, online Black Friday sales rose by 2.3% to $9.12 billion, and Cyber Monday sales rose by 5.8% for a total of $11.3 billion. \u00b2<\/li>\n<li>Cyber 5 (Black Friday through Cyber Monday) online sales increased by 4% in total ($35.27 billion in total spend). \u00b3<\/li>\n<li>Black Friday was the most popular day during Cyber 5 2022, with 88% of consumers making purchases that day and 50% making purchases on Cyber Monday. 37% of consumers said they purchased more online and less in-store than during the Cyber 5 in 2021. \u2074<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though more than 122.7 million people visited brick-and-mortar stores over Black Friday weekend (up 17% from 2021), 2022 witnessed an impressive 130.2 million online shoppers.\u2075 According to Placer.ai, a group specializing in consumer traffic metrics, Black Friday store foot traffic in the U.S. decreased among most categories and retailers compared with 2021 and pre-pandemic 2019.\u2076 Meanwhile, 41% of Cyber 5 consumers made most or all their purchases online.<\/p>\n<p>The rise for both online and in-person shopping indicates that the Cyber 5 period will continue to prompt consumers to take advantage of retailers\u2019 deals and participate in future peak seasons as well. This is good news for the future of consumerism as a whole, but especially ecommerce operations.

In fact, Digital Commerce 360\u2019s research has found that there are at least five peak order seasons to plan for: <i>Valentine\u2019s Day, Mother\u2019s Day, back-to-school season, Halloween, and the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays.<\/i><i>\u2077<\/i><\/p>\n<p>These peak seasons do not last the same length of time, but they do provide significant opportunities for taking on more orders and growing operations. For the sake of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/inbound-outbound-logistics\">managing supply chain logistics<\/a> and high-volume ecommerce ordering efficiently, you need to prepare your fulfillment network for each of these peak seasons to ensure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/peak-season-warehousing\">efficient warehousing<\/a> and fulfillment excellence year-round.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\">Smart inventory management is key as ecommerce orders become more complex.<\/h2>\n<p>Fulfillment operations will not only need to ready themselves for more online orders in 2023, but more complex ones as well.
