As the holiday shopping season heats up, consumers are gearing up for the biggest online shopping event of the year: Cyber Monday. What the Cyber Monday is all about in 2024, and how it's shaping up to be a record-breaking year for online sales.

Official Coverage

Cyber Monday is a major online shopping event that takes place on the Monday after Thanksgiving in the United States. This year, the event is expected to be bigger than ever, with thousands of deals and discounts available from top retailers. According to official reports, Amazon Canada has dropped its Cyber Monday deals early, allowing Canadians to shop thousands of exclusive deals on popular items like TVs, Apple AirPods, and Yeti mugs (Yahoo Canada Shine On).

In a separate report, PC Gamer has highlighted the best Cyber Monday gaming deals, featuring gaming laptops and PCs that weren't available just a few days ago. The gaming PC market is expected to see significant sales this year, with many retailers offering discounts on high-end gaming hardware.

Early Deals and Discounts

"Amazon Canada dropped their Cyber Monday deals early — save big on TVs, Apple AirPods, Yeti mugs, and more," reports Yahoo Canada Shine On. "Cyber Monday is tomorrow, but Canadians can already shop thousands of early Cyber Monday deals on Amazon."

"Already I've found a couple of good gaming laptops and gaming PCs that weren't around just a few days ago," notes PC Gamer. "There are also some actually great handheld gaming PC deals that should be worth a look."

Background Context

Cyber Monday is a relatively new phenomenon, emerging in the early 2000s as a way for consumers to shop online during the holiday season. The event has grown in popularity over the years, with more and more retailers participating in the event.

However, it's worth noting that Cyber Monday is not the only online shopping event of the year. Other notable events include Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving), Cyber Black Friday (the online version of Black Friday), and Green Monday (an online retail industry term similar to Cyber Monday).

The Rise of Online Shopping

Black Friday, traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States, has seen a significant shift towards online shopping in recent years. According to data, online sales on Black Friday have increased by over 20% in the past few years alone.

Buy Nothing Day and the Anti-Consumerism Movement

On the other hand, some consumers are choosing to opt out of the holiday shopping season altogether. Buy Nothing Day, a day of protest against consumerism, is held the day after U.S. Thanksgiving in the United States, concurrent with Black Friday.

The impact of Cyber Monday on the retail industry is significant. According to official reports, Cyber Monday is expected to see record-breaking sales this year, with thousands of deals and discounts available from top retailers.
