Changing holiday traditions triggers e-commerce

The research highlighted some of the reasons behind this year's spike in e-commerce Thanksgiving revenue. According to the research report:

"The changing holiday traditions related to the pandemic might have contributed to the spike in Thanksgiving holiday e-commerce shopping revenue. With slowed traveling and restrictions, most people opted not to spend their time with their families. The money spent traveling could have been redirected to buying gifts for the family instead of visiting them.”
