 The holiday season comes once a year and eCommerce sales continue to rise: In 2016, Cyber Monday was the biggest online sales day in history, with a record of $3.45 billion spent online, reports Adobe Digital Insights. Black Friday was a close second, with only $110 million less in online sales. The spending trend continues in 2017, with some three-quarters of consumers planning to do some holiday shopping online, according to retail research firm NPD.

For some stores, that percentage can be even higher. Saltopia Salts, for example, does 60% of its business over the holidays.
