The media's got a name for the "biggest online shopping day of the year", the Monday following "Black Friday" and Thanksgiving in the US. Our two (holiday benefitting) e-commerce sites actually saw higher sales yesterday and today, but I guess we're outside the mainstream.
A good article on the subject comes from the IHT - Online sales take off on 'Cyber Monday'. I also note that IHT has re-written their URLs recently to make them more SE-friendly... How thoughtful.
I can't help my self from day dreaming with my family this coming Holiday. Cyber Monday is the day when a lot of people go to work after the Thanksgiving holiday and do a cit more of their Christmas shopping online to save some money and to keep from going to even more stores. As all are aware, the Friday after Thanksgiving Thursday is Black Friday, and it's more or less one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Both days mean huge revenue bumps for retailers, who need all the help they can get these days. It's going to mean a lot of fast cash is going to be made on Cyber Monday.
