  • It's Cyber Monday, the e-commerce version of Black Friday. The National Retail Federation coined the term in 2005 to encourage people to take advantage of online shopping. Cyber Monday 2020 was reported to be the biggest digital shopping day in U.

The article from Yahoo Tech discusses the origins and significance of Cyber Monday, which falls on the Monday following Thanksgiving, traditionally known as Black Friday. Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation's Shop.org to describe the surge in online shopping that occurs after the in-store shopping frenzy of Black Friday. The term "Cyber" refers to the internet, highlighting the shift from physical to online retail. The article explains that Cyber Monday was initially about offering special online deals to capitalize on consumers returning to work and using their office internet connections for shopping. Over the years, Cyber Monday has grown in popularity, with retailers offering significant discounts online, making it one of the biggest online shopping days of the year. It also touches on how the distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday has blurred, with many deals now starting earlier and extending beyond these specific days, reflecting changes in consumer behavior and retail strategies.
