With the ever-growing increase of use + reliance on technology, it is incredible to think that the phase ‘Cyber Monday’ has only been in use since 2005, being first coined by The National Retail Federation’s Elle Davis regarding the ‘recurring spike in online revenue and traffic on the Monday following Thanksgiving.’ (Believed to be caused by individuals shopping at work due to the faster web access and ability to keep their purchases a surprise from those at home.)
Having almost been called ‘Blue Monday’ – representing clicking those blue hyperlinks – the online shopping day directly competes with its Black Friday predecessor – and allows the 50% of us who prefer to avoid mass crowds, not miss out on all the steals and deals ($7.9 billion being spent digitally in 2018).
To narrow your search across the world wide web, we’ve compiled a list of local businesses offering online deals worthy of a double click. Get ready to add to cart.
