Joy is in the air for the holidays! Customers came out in droves for Black Friday and Cyber Monday which wasn't a surprise based on our #journeybacktojoy data.

52% of Americans are "Excited and Happy" about the holidays, which is up 8 pt vs. last year which bodes well for retailers. When consumers are excited and happy, our data shows higher spending levels.
