Cyber Monday

Refers to the first Monday following the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, and is considered a prime shopping day for online shoppers and retailers. FollowingBlack Friday, retailers offer a number of specials that are only available to online shoppers. Free shipping is often offered as an incentive for purchases made on Cyber Monday.

Why Is It Important?
The term Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 to draw customers to retailer's e-commerce sites and keep the shopping momentum up after Black Friday. Cyber Monday has become one of the biggest shopping days of the year. While Black Friday involves shopping in physical stores, the shopping is primarily online during Cyber Monday. Many people find Cyber Monday to be more convenient than Black Friday because they can do all their shopping from the convenience of their home. For more information on Cyber Monday, check out the links below:
