Around 164 million people are expected to shop in the five-day Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday period this year, according to the National Retail Federation. Adobe expects more than $1 for $6 spent at retail to be spent online this holiday season, with smartphones accounting for a quarter of these dollars.
