Gear Up Your Retail Business for the Holiday Shopping Season

According to the National Retail Federation a record 226 million shoppers took to the stores in search of doorbuster deals over Black Friday weekend, with the average shopper spending nearly $400, almost a 10% increase versus last year. Cyber Monday was also a success for retailers, with double digit growth in online sales, up 15% over last year.
