San Mateo, Calif., Nov. 25, 2015 -- ShopRunner, the members-only online shopping service, today announced that 85% of its members intend to shop on Cyber Monday, dominating over both Black Friday and Thanksgiving this year. The finding was revealed as part of the Company’s 2015 Holiday Consumer Study, which surveys its members weekly during the season about their plans for holiday shopping. Additionally, recognizing the importance of Cyber Monday, many ShopRunner retailers are actually planning to offer better deals on Cyber Monday vs. on Black Friday.

Additional findings from the study include:

• Nearly half (49%) of consumers surveyed plan to shop on Thanksgiving.
• ShopRunner members plan to shop more on their mobile devices (17%) than in-store (13%) on Thanksgiving.
• 24% of survey respondents plan to shop on mobile devices on Cyber Monday.
• While nearly half (46%) of consumers have already started their holiday shopping, only 6% expect to finish by the end of Thanksgiving weekend.
