This year, as COVID-19 rages on, Thanksgiving weekend online holiday shopping is expecting 35% growth compared to 2019. The trend is positive for Puerto Rico’s technology-based companies that will offer discounts to ignite the start of the holiday season.
In addition to the savings they represent, these special sales are an opportunity to try new products and services, while at the same time, supporting companies that are driving their startups with innovative approaches, shop owners said.
