Cyber Monday sales are expected to hit $9.4 billion, up nearly 19% from last year, Adobe Analytics says. Retailers are making every day count because of the shorter holiday season this year.

Digital spending during November and December is expected to reach $143.7 billion, up 14.1% from a year ago, according to a study by Adobe Analytics, which tracks transactions for 80 of the top 100 U.S. internet retailers including Walmart and Amazon.
Cyber Monday sales are expected to hit $9.4 billion, up nearly 19% from last year, Adobe said. Black Friday sales online are expected to be $7.5 billion, up 20.3%. Thanksgiving Day sales on the internet are forecast to surge 19.5%, to $4.4 billion, it said.
For the first time, the research firm is calling for online sales to surpass $1 billion each day in November and December, because of the pinch for time.
The National Retail Federation has forecast total holiday retail sales will grow by 3.8% to 4.2% this year, excluding automobiles, gasoline and restaurants. That equates to sales of between $727.9 billion and $730.7 billion.

Continued growth in originations. FlexShopper originated gross leases valued at $17.1 million in Q3 2019, which was an improvement of 37.9% from the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by the combination of increased gross lease count and average lease value. For the third quarter of 2019, FlexShopper originated a total of 36,531 gross leases, representing an increase of 25.2% compared with the prior year period, while the average lease value of $468 was up from $424 in the prior year period. Growth continued to be driven by the combination of repeat customer activity, along with strong growth in the Company’s B2B channel. The Company’s B2B channel, consisting primarily of lease originations through third-party retail stores, continued to account for an increasing proportion of total originations. Through the first nine months of 2019, retail store lease originations were 30% of total gross lease origination dollars and delivered 18,307 new customers compared with 3,163 in the same period last year. The Company’s average cost to acquire a new customer of $67 in Q3 2019 continued to decrease on a year over year basis, compared to $133 for the same period in 2018. As planned, marketing expense increased to $0.9 million in Q3 2019 from $0.3 million in Q2 2019 as the Company increased its marketing activity during the back to school shopping season. Q3 2019 marketing expense compared favorably with $1.6 million in the year-ago period. The Company continues to expect a sequential increase in marketing expense supporting B2C originations in Q4 2019. Improved lease portfolio performance resulting from B2B retail channel growth. Leases originated in the Company’s B2B retail channel historically experience lower delinquency rates than the B2C channel. This positively impacted Gross Profit which increased approximately 700 basis points during Q3 2019 to 37% compared with the same period last year. Rich House, CEO , commented, “I am delighted to have joined FlexShopper at such an exciting time. Brad has set a high bar in growing the company from its inception five years ago to where it is today. 2019 has been an inflection year for the company and I look forward to continuing that momentum. We have expanded our retail channel significantly and that has translated into a substantial increase in margins and bottom line results. We see ample avenues to continue our growth as we look forward to closing out the year with what has historically been our busiest quarter in terms of originations.”
