Turkey Schmurkey. Thanksgiving Is Mobile Commerce Day.

On a typical day Fab does around 33% of our sales via our mobile apps.

On Thanksgiving day mobile app sales jumped to 40% of Fab’s total.

It makes sense. Fewer people are sitting around in front of computers on Thanksgiving day. Instead, they are with family, showing them their favorite apps on their phones and tablets.

It also helps that Apple decided to call out Fab as a top holiday shopping pick via this unexpected but well-timed Thanksgiving day tweet today:

Shopping ‘til you drop on #BlackFriday? Skip the lines with@Fab.com. http://tw.appstore.com/eeX

Smile, you’re designed to.

And, get the Fab app.
