Black Friday, or the day after Thanksgiving, has long been a day of mouth-watering splendor for American retailers as it unofficially commences the holiday shopping season. For those who can take advantage of the discounts and deals, Black Friday can be a productive experience – even if it requires braving the elements or camping outside a few days in advance. Electronics and digital products are typically the most sought after items. It can be astonishing to witness the lengths to which people will go to save $50 on a tablet or $100 on a television set. Technology is king; the grip it has on our lives is evident. Digital sales for Black Friday in 2015 will top $4 billion, up 20% from 2014, according to CNBC.

One of the ways to accomplish this has been an investment in mobile platforms.
