Black Friday by the Numbers: Spending Up, Boycotts Quiet

Black Friday online sales reached 8.6 billion by early evening, showing that consumers are still spending even with inflation and economic strain. Beauty retailers like Sephora are seeing steady activity with no confirmed signs of a boycott affecting their numbers. Analysts note that shoppers may be spending less per person, but overall buying remains strong, especially online, and there is still no measurable impact from the recent backlash. #BlackFriday2025 #HolidaySpendingTrends #RetailData #OnlineSalesSurge #ConsumerPatterns #SephoraWatch #EconomicPressure #CyberWeek2025
