2. So, you thought your website did well during the past shopping events of Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. But, you may have lost a good chunk of money if you did not optimize your store for mobile.

In many of our previous posts, we have sang praises about Magento and its market-wide acceptance. However, for the uninformed, Magento powers 9,063 out of 34,864 online stores present inside the Alexa Top 1 Million. This gives Magento a 26% share (and it keeps growing since the statistics here are of February 2013).
