With deals offered early, will shoppers buy on Cyber Monday?
I loathe going to retail shops and standing in lines (we hunker down and don’t leave the house on Black Friday). You can see all of the store’s online deals here. The Cyber Monday deals also cover other cellphones including savings on installment plans for Google Pixel and LG G5 plus discounts for handsets including Motorola Moto X, ZTE Axon 7 mini, Huawei Honor 8 and more. For example: both PS4 and Xbox One S are now $50 off at Target, but you can take another $37.50 off with this deal, bringing each console down to $212.49.
GameStop Cyber Monday online deals begin on at 12:01 AM ET on 28th November and will run through 2nd December.
Today’s event is called Cyber Monday because most of the sales on this day are online, compared with instore sales on Black Friday. She found an iPad at Bestbuy.com for $625, at $150 off during the week before Thanksgiving.
Colangelo said the convenience of shopping at home combined with better bargains is what’s fueling that growth, and converting shoppers like Pat Courtney.
“A lot of times if we have a really good Black Friday weekend, our entire season is good as well”, Henry said.
JC Penney’s Cyber Monday steals include 20% off select apparel, shoes, accessories, fine jewelry and home goods, plus 30% off online orders over $100, using code BIGDEALS (11/27 – 11/28). The phrase was coined in 2005 to encourage online buying when people returned to offices where they had high-speed internet connections.
Apparel & Accessories ranked as the top product category on Black Friday with almost $500 million in desktop sales, while Toys & Hobbies saw the highest rate of growth from past year.
“Thanksgiving has become the new Cyber Monday”, said Shawn DuBravac, chief economist at the Consumer Technology Association. Analysts say as consumers are buying more and more online, how stores run promotions and discounts has changed as well.
Of course, you can find great deals Monday from tons of different retailers, but Bodge said you may want to keep your eye on some specific items.
But I get it, there is a newish shopping “holiday” that has it’s own name, it is hard not to be curious.
