Sales of pajamas, Peloton going up
The pandemic has resulted in drastic changes to what we eat, buy and do with our spare time.
• According to a check at 80 of the top 100 U.S. online retailers, sales of pajamas rose 143 percent between March and April. Pants sales are down 13 percent, and bras down 12 percent, according to Adobe Analytics.
• Peloton Interactive Inc. began trending late last year and not in the way any company would desire. A commercial for Peloton was described as “dystopian,” and “sexist,” and the blowback
was so severe, shares of the company plunged. What a difference a pandemic makes. In a regulatory filing Tuesday, Peloton said it’s topped 1 million aggregate connected fitness subscribers during lockdown.
