CYBER MONDAY 2016
WHAT
DOES IT MEAN: was coined by Ellen Davis and was first used within the ecommerce
community during the 2005 holiday season. The term was coined based on 2004
research showing "one of the biggest
online shopping days of the year" was the Monday after Thanksgiving.
" Cyber Monday grew out of the observation that millions of otherwise
productive working north Americans (US people), fresh off a Thanksgiving
weekend of window shopping, using high-speed Internet connections at work
Monday and buying what they liked."
The
term "Cyber Monday" was created by marketing companies to persuade
people to shop online. "77 percent of online retailers said that their
sales increased substantially on the Monday after Thanksgiving, a trend that is
driving serious online discounts and promotions on Cyber Monday this year
(2005)".
In
2015, Cyber Monday online sales grew to a record $2.98 billion, compared with
$2.65 billion in 2014. However, the average order value was $128, down slightly
from 2014's $160.
The
deals on Cyber Monday are online only and generally offered by smaller
retailers that cannot compete with the big retailers. Black Friday generally
offers better deals on technology, with nearly 85% more data storage deals than
Cyber Monday.
Cyber
Monday has become an international marketing term used by online retailers
across the world.
