Cyber Monday: What It Is and a Treat From Us
Happy belated Thanksgiving and welcome to the countdown to the New Year! We hope you all had a safe and warm time with your families as we all took a much-needed break. But, like every year, the countdown to other holidays festivities feels every looming. If you chose not to face the masses on Black Friday, don’t fret about missing out on deals! Because, Cyber Monday is here to help with all your online shopping needs. But, what exactly does that entail? In today’s blog, we explain this massive sale and share with you what deal we have in store for Gooroo Clubs.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a marketing term for e-commerce transactions on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Retailers coined the idea in order to encourage people to shop online. It first made its debut in 2005. Since then, it has become one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.
Essentially, it is the equivalent to Black Friday. However, its online nature allows for smaller retail websites to compete with larger chains. Although both these shopping holidays are US-centric, they have found themselves in retail and e-commerce stores around the world. And, in a variety of different currencies.
A Treat From Us
