The anticipated craze of black Friday didn’t disappoint retailers this year! Internet sales totaled $816 million dollars, a 26% gain on last year, mostly in part from heavy online promotional activity (www.BBC.CO.uk). Around 50 million Americans visited online retail sites on black Friday 2011! 

Amazon.com was the post popular online destination Friday, with “50% more visitors than any other retailer,” (www.BBC.CO.uk). Following Amazon was Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Apple. 
 
In-store black Friday success was not too far behind, with a 7% sales increase from last year (www.BBC.CO.uk). Black Friday is viewed as the start of the Christmas shopping season for most retailers and consumers, which is why outrageous discounts and sales are offered as a one-time only, kickoff to the shopping season. 
 
Mobile shopping accounted for 9.8% of all online sales, compared to 3.2% last year (www.BBC.CO.uk). IBM said “Apple’s iPhone and iPad had generated the most mobile internet visits to online stores, accounting for more than double the traffic originating from devices running Google’s Android system,” (www.BBC.CO.uk).

Today, known as “cyber-Monday”, is expected to be America’s busiest online shopping day of the year. Close to 123 million American plan to make an online purchase, according to a survey commissioned by the US National Retail Federation, a 15% increase on last year’s numbers (www.BBC.CO.uk). 

“Retailers have invested heavily in mobile apps and retail content as the appetite for Cyber Monday shopping through smartphones and tablets continues to rise,” said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of the NRF’s website shop.org (www.BBC.CO.uk).

George Martin’s Strip Steak is offering nightly specials throughout the holiday season! Enjoy cocktails, dinner and liquid nitrogen specialty cocktails and desserts 7 nights a week at Strip Steak. 

Liquid nitrogen, a Strip Steak exclusive in the Long Island area, is new to the menu. To create a cocktail, liquid nitrogen is added to a mixing bowl of all fresh ingredients, including fresh fruit, along with liquor. The liquid nitrogen freezes the ingredients, producing a unique, all natural, frozen cocktail with no artificial components.

Look for different flavors of liquid nitrogen ice cream offered on the Strip Steak dessert menu! Combining liquid nitrogen with one of Strip Steak’s famous desserts, such as their banana pie or brownie, and the cream mixture, you are left with incredibly smooth ice cream. The silky texture isn’t the only plus! Liquid nitrogen dessert has 40% less fat than the average dessert due to the all-natural ingredients used and the exclusion of egg yolk!

Don’t forget about Wine Down Wednesday’s at Strip Steak and The Original. At Strip Steak, enjoy select bottles of wine at half price! The Original features select bottles of wine for $20! Wednesday’s can now be the perfect date night for you and your loved one!
