The turkey has been picked clean, the parade floats are deflated and so are the losing football teams. Black Friday 2009 is a memory. On to Cyber Monday! Now, this a shopping frenzy I can manage — up late/early at a computer is more my style than Black Friday’s forays.
Who started Cyber Monday and when?
The National Retail Federation, a trade organization representing 1.6 million retailers, coined the term in 2005.
Is Cyber Monday the biggest online sales day of the year?
No. Consumers generally spend more online as the holiday draws nearer. The busiest time for online holiday shopping is December 5th through the 15th.
Are more retailers promoting Cyber Monday sales?
Yes. This year, 87% of retailers will have special Cyber Monday promotions, up from 84% last year and 72% in 2007.
Is Storybook Quilts having a Cyber Monday promotion?
Yes, we are, through our ArtFire shop. We just couldn’t resist being part of the fun! Dapper Dan the Snowman will delight your favorite child at a 20% discount; any Storybook Quilt package ordered that day also is eligible for a free year-occasion customized square. But shop early! Only two of each special are available at this discount.
