The following table will help you figure out which day offers the most favorable discounts on different categories of goods.

In addition, Black Friday offers differ from deals on Cyber ​​Monday.

Edition Dealnews compiled a list of differences between the two days.

Cyber ​​Monday has a more cheerful origin history than Black Friday.

The term “black friday” was coined by the Philadelphia police, dissatisfied with their work schedule one of the Fridays after Thanksgiving in 1950's. Many people arrived in the city that Friday to watch a football game between members of the US Army and the Navy. While waiting for the game, they all went for a walk around the city and shops, and they in turn decided to take advantage of the situation and arranged sales to attract more buyers. The police had to be on duty almost around the clock, many officers were extended working shifts, they, of course, did not like it, and they called Friday “black”.

The term Cyber ​​Monday was coined by the National Retail Federation in 2005, its name reflects the excitement when people, returning to work after the holidays, continue to actively shop on the Internet.

Cyber ​​Monday is accompanied by less advertising.

You will undoubtedly see a lot of advertisements about special offers on this day. This is because retailers advertise Black Friday deals well in advance, sometimes as early as early October. However, we're seeing comparatively fewer Cyber ​​Monday ads, perhaps because retailers know shoppers will be checking out these sales anyway.

No queues

Unlike Black Friday, Cyber ​​Monday deals are almost 100% off online stores, so there is no need to go to a retail outlet and crowd with a lot of other shoppers. And although Black Friday is also gradually occupying its niche online, Cyber ​​Monday is completely tied to online trading, not least because on this day most Americans are already at work, and they simply do not have the opportunity to come to the store.

Discounts last less than a day.

Most of Cyber ​​Monday's special price offers last less than a day, with discounts on Black Friday and Thanksgiving much longer. Due to the short-term deals, they are often more profitable, especially when it comes to fashion.

Cyber ​​Monday is the day of the highest sales on the Internet

In 2016, Cyber ​​Monday sold 3,45 billion worth of goods, most of which were made from computers, tablets and phones.

Cyber ​​Monday is a day of discounts in more stores.

During Black Friday, deals are offered by major well-known retailers such as Best Buy, Kohl's, Target etc. At the same time, on Cyber ​​Monday you can find very profitable deals in small or specialized stores, such as Crocs and Levi's.

Mods love Cyber ​​Monday

While Thanksgiving and Black Friday offer low prices for electronics, Cyber ​​Monday is more beneficial for those who want to buy clothes, shoes and a variety of cosmetics.
