Cyber Monday Advertising

Cyber Monday Advertising

Cyber Monday is the Monday following Black Friday (see Black Friday Advertising), the day which kicks off holiday online shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Traditionally Black Friday was associated with regular bricks and mortar stores, while Cyber Monday was associated with online stores as the name suggests. The idea was that consumers would go online on the Monday and order the products they were after, but couldn’t find at the weekend Black Friday sales. Nowadays both Black Friday and Cyber Mondays are huge for both online and offline sales.
