Last year, total holiday sales from the Amazon Mobile Shopping App doubled in the U.S. and Black Friday had the most rapid growth in mobile shopping. This year, it will be even easier to spend time with loved ones thanks to “Watch A Deal” which allows holiday shoppers to pick the deals they’re most excited about and receive a notification to their mobile device when the deal is live. With this new feature, Amazon customers can effortlessly take advantage of deals throughout the day and while on-the-go.
So, now you can truly sit back and relax with your family and friends this holiday season knowing that you will be notified as soon as the products you have had your eye on are about to go on sale. Year after year, more and more customers shop Amazon’s Black Friday deals from the comfort of their own home and the process has become even more convenient for them.
