Today is slated to be one of the holiday season’s busiest shopping days, as Americans head back to the office. Coined “Holiday Hangover Day” by sale-tracking website Brad’s Deals, January 3rd is expected to bring an uptick in online sales as consumers get back to their daily routine and shop with “a list of things Santa didn’t bring and a stack of gift cards they have to spend.” Last year saw a 15% rise in online sales compared to the surrounding days, and according to the National Retail Federation, eight in ten Millennials are planning to shop after-holiday sales this year.
