💻 Cyber Monday Countdown
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is always the Monday after Thanksgiving — four days after the fourth Thursday in November — so its date moves along with Thanksgiving each year.
The history of Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation's Shop.org division, after retailers noticed a surge in online sales on the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend, as shoppers returned to work (and faster internet connections) after the long weekend.
It has grown into one of the biggest online shopping days of the year in the United States, with major retailers offering deep discounts specifically for online shoppers, complementing the in-store emphasis of Black Friday.
