After Black Friday Is Cyber Monday
Black Friday is one of the craziest national sales event I've seen! Regardless of the cold or inclement weather, people would actually fall in line to door-buster events from different stores like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Sears and what have you. Now usually, these door-buster events start early in the morning so queues can actually build up as early as the night before -- more likely, immediately after the Thanksgiving dinner. It is not uncommon to see people starting a line even 1 - 2 days before, camping out complete with tents and all!
Black Friday is, basically, the day after Thanksgiving Thursday when stores would usually make the biggest holiday sales events of the year. The sales events may start at 12 midnight (which is, technically, the earliest morning of that Friday). Almost ALL stores would offer some awesome, great and seemingly preposterous deals on this day. Some events would last all day and some would last only 2, 6 or 12 hours since the door opens (or until supplies last).
In 2005, Shop.org coined the term Cyber Monday as inspired by research studies that show on-line sales are highest on the first Monday after Thanksgiving. Thus, CyberMonday.com was born. Five years since, Cyber Monday proved to be the most profitable on-line sales event after an already profitable Black Friday.
Cyber Monday is not about long lines. It's all about finding those great deals on the web. There are often many ways of getting things cheaper on-line. So you could just imagine how much cheaper they can get on Cyber Monday.
Consider that Cyber Monday is a work day. So you could expect a lot of office workers getting caught for shopping on-line. If you survived the temptation to over-indulge on Black Friday, you can surely survive Cyber Monday and, at the end of the day, should still be in control of your finances.
This year, the entire Thanksgiving week through Cyber Monday already have great on-line deals. If you did your homework early, you should have a pretty good idea of what's in store -- err... on-line.
Come Cyber Monday, don't forget to visit the Store for great on-line deals.
