White suggests retailers may want to pay special attention to being mobile-friendly on days that consumers are more likely to be away from home, including:

  • Thanksgiving Day, when most consumers are with family with a smartphone in their purse or on the couch watching TV with a tablet on their laps, or out shopping with their smartphone in hand
