I really don’t care which day is hyped by the media, as long as it brings in customers. I will wager a guess that the day after Thanksgiving wasn’t always a huge shopping day. But slowly the media started reporting on it, and stores started picking up on it and offering great deals. And now it is a huge day.

I think the whole “Cyber Monday/Thursday” is in the starting phases. I forsee it soon being a big deal that gets reported just as hard as the day after sales.

@ Jordan

Ahh, thats the trick though isn’t it? Most E-tailers realize its the holiday season so I would venture to guess 60%-80% of them have shipping deals/times posted in big letters somewhere.

Amazon.com Prime membership comes in extremely handy around this time of year Free overnight and 2-day shipping on tons of goodies.

I’m not sure, but I think next Monday might be cutting it too close, unless people are more willing to spring for expedited shipping.

The plot thickens! (Or would that be “thins”?)

Someone commented on my “Cyber Monday” post, linking to data that showed the following Mondays AFTER to be the heaviest peaks.

I’ll bet next Monday (the 17th) takes the cake.

Still, I wonder if this year’s results were skewed at all by late shoppers for an early Hanukkah adding to the mix.
