Today, we’re going to prepare you for Cyber Monday November 28, 2016.
Some of the best deals are carried over the Thanksgiving weekend into Cyber Monday, which has become one of the most popular deal days online.
Cyber Monday – What Is It?
For those of you who don’t know about its origins, Cyber Monday is the marketing world’s way of getting more people to shop online. The term was first used on November 21, 2005 in a press release by Shop.org titled Cyber Monday Quickly Becoming One of the Biggest Online Shopping Days of the Year. The term caught on, and Cyber Monday was born.
With the emergence of Amazon Prime that same year, Cyber Monday’s position in the annals of e-commerce history was cemented. Since then, Cyber Monday has grown in stature, and now represents an entire week of deals rather than just being a one-day phenomenon. Online retailers like Amazon push out some great deals on Cyber Monday, and they typically keep adding new deals through the week.
