Cyber Monday is the online shopping event held on the Monday following Thanksgiving in the United States, making it the digital counterpart to Black Friday's in-store deals. The term was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation to describe the spike in online shopping that occurred when people returned to work after the Thanksgiving weekend and took advantage of their office internet connections to shop online. Since then, Cyber Monday has grown into the largest online shopping day of the year. The event has evolved dramatically as e-commerce has expanded. Major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy launch exclusive online deals spanning electronics, clothing, home goods, toys, and virtually every product category. Many deals begin before Monday and extend throughout the week, creating what retailers call 'Cyber Week.' In recent years, Cyber Monday sales in the US have surpassed $12 billion in a single day, with millions of transactions occurring every hour. Cyber Monday offers consumers the convenience of holiday shopping from home, avoiding the crowds and physical demands of traditional retail. Mobile shopping now accounts for a significant portion of Cyber Monday purchases, reflecting the shift toward smartphone commerce. For small businesses, the related 'Small Business Saturday' and the broader Cyber Week provide opportunities to reach online shoppers. The event has spread internationally, with retailers in the UK, Canada, Australia, and beyond offering their own Cyber Monday promotions.
