While some sales have already started, there are many more to come. Check back through Thanksgiving and the holiday weekend as we’ll be keeping things updated with new additions.

SKIP AHEAD: Best Cyber Monday Deals to Shop

When is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is on Nov. 30, the first Monday following Thanksgiving and Black Friday every year.

What is Cyber Monday?

Historically, Black Friday was a store-centric retail sales holiday, with consumers braving jam-packed aisles and waiting in long lines to nab doorbusters, explained Jessica Young, senior research analyst, Digital Commerce 360. Cyber Monday is a more recent phenomenon that in the past has been aimed at competing with Black Friday’s in-store promotions.

“Cyber Monday soon became the most lucrative online shopping day of the year in the U.S,” she said. “But every year, retail chains have extended more Black Friday sales to consumers buying online, and a greater share of seasonal dollars are spent on ecommerce sites, which has blurred the lines between the retail holidays that previously targeted two distinct channels.”

This alternative to brick-and-mortar crowds was also traditionally different from Black Friday in the types of sales offered. In years past, Cyber Monday has been more about technology deals while Black Friday was more focused on fashion, explained Marshal Cohen, the chief industry advisor of The NPD Group.

“But not this year — tech and home will be the big play on both counts,” he said. That’s because “the virus has also changed what we spend our money on – it is less about experiential and more about tangible items with a focus on healthier living, working from home, schooling from home and entertaining in the home.”

Although both days have had notable online deals in recent years, Cyber Monday outperforms Black Friday in terms of digital revenue, according to Young, with shoppers spending as much as 37 percent more on Cyber Monday than Black Friday since 2014. “That’s partly because discounts have been a bit deeper on Cyber Monday,” she said. “But also because consumers are able to focus more on comparison shopping and gift buying when stuck at an office computer for a large block of time on Monday versus a busy Friday off.” And it doesn’t look like this year will disappoint.

“Cyber Monday still appears to be the most popular shopping day heading into the 2020 season,” she added. “More than half of consumers — 53 percent — plan to shop online this year.”
