The Myth of Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday Unpacked
Cyber Monday follows Thanksgiving and is often believed to kick off the online holiday shopping season. Many also think it’s the biggest online shopping day of the year?"both of which are myths. The idea is that people shop in stores on Black Friday and switch to online shopping when they return to work on Monday.
Origins and Misconceptions
The term "Cyber Monday" likely originated from media hype. With the rise of online shopping, it seemed logical to declare a distinct start for this season, similar to Black Friday for in-store shopping. However, no single day marks the beginning of online holiday shopping. Instead, online activity gradually increases from mid-November until about a week before Christmas.
Changing Consumer Behavior
Years ago, Cyber Monday made more sense when people lacked high-speed internet at home. Shoppers would wait to use their employers' faster connections on Monday. Now, with widespread home broadband, this reasoning is outdated. Consumers often begin shopping online right after Thanksgiving dinner rather than waiting for Monday.
Evolving Shopping Patterns
Shoppers now gradually enter the holiday season, reflected by the early appearance of decorations and merchandise even before Halloween. Online, you can find holiday items all year, reinforcing this ongoing trend.
When Is the Biggest Day?
The actual peak shopping periods occur one to two weeks before Christmas due to last-minute buying habits. In-store, the busiest day is typically the last Saturday before Christmas. Online, the deadline tends to be the last day items can ship to arrive by Christmas, about a week prior. Even gift cards bought after Christmas extend the shopping season.
A Shift in Perspective
It's time for the media to recognize that Cyber Monday isn’t a singular phenomenon. We might hear less about it as understanding of these evolving shopping habits grows.
