Cyber Monday

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Cyber Monday

The name given by online retailers and e-commerce experts to the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday. With its Black Friday counterpart in actual store-based traffic, analysts have pointed to significant spikes in online shopping on Cyber Monday. Coined in 2005, Cyber Monday was fueled by promotions such as free gifts and free shipping as well as by the faster Internet connections many people had at home.

Prior to Thanksgiving, Mondays were the biggest online shopping day of the week; that pattern continued both on Cyber Monday and the two following Mondays.
In 2006, there was a surge in online holiday shopping that lasted beyond Cyber Monday (the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday).
