Amazon Cyber Monday 2017: Biggest Shopping Day in Company History

Amazon has announced Cyber Monday 2017 was the company’s “single biggest shopping day ever”, eclipsing Prime Day 2017. Also, from American Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, customers helped set a record for small business sales, with almost 140 million items sold.
