[Video] 2020 Cyber 5 Analysis Wrap Up
For the past few years, YOTTAA and Digital Commerce 360 have been recapping the results of the busiest online shopping week of the year: Cyber 5. Retail brands prepare all year for these 5 days, knowing well in advance the issues that can come along with massive spikes in traffic and demand. Nevertheless, there are always brands that get it right, and some that end up wishing they’d had more time to prepare.
In 2020, with the majority of shoppers moving online due to the global crisis, no one really knew how this year’s Cyber 5 would look. YOTTAA and Digital Commerce 360 took the time to analyze industry trends, traffic levels, promotions, site performance, and angry posts from shoppers on social media so we could provide a full view of what happened, why, and how to better prepare for 2021.
