Cyber Monday

Do you know that the Monday following the Black Friday is called Cyber Monday?

Below is the excerpt from Wikipedia:

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. Whereas Black Friday is associated with traditional brick-and-mortar stores, "Cyber Monday" symbolizes a busy day for online retailers. The premise was that consumers would return to their offices after the Black Friday weekend, making purchases online that they were not able to make in stores. The idea has not survived the test of time (see below), however, Cyber Monday has evolved into a significant marketing event, sponsored by the National Retail Federation's Shop.org division, in which online retailers offer low prices and promotions."

If you missed out the Black Friday's specials, you can try your luck in front of the PC on Monday.

Good luck.
