Did you know that Cyber Monday started as a hangover sale from Black Friday? Retailers noticed that the Monday after Thanksgiving began to see a spike in online sales. This led Shop.org to coin the moniker “Cyber Monday” as a way to attract even more consumers, and the name stuck.
The History of Cyber Monday | Mashable Explains
Cyber Monday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. According to Adobe Analytics, consumers spent more than $12 million per minute during the peak hour of Cyber Monday last year.
You’d be forgiven for assuming that Cyber Monday is just a bunch of tech companies discounting their electronics. These sales go far beyond electronics and span all facets of retail, including books, toys, sporting goods, jewelry, appliances, and more.
The best part about Cyber Monday is that you don’t have to wait in line for hours in advance, pushing and shoving for one of the few door-busters that retailers use to lure shoppers into their stores. You can shop in your pajamas.
