In retail and online shopping the Monday immediately following Thanksgiving (or
the Monday immediately following
Black Friday) in the United States is referred
to as Cyber Monday. This is a busy day for online retailers as it was initially
perceived as the day when employees would return to work and shop online for the
items they did not purchase on the preceding Black Friday. The term Cyber Monday
was first coined by
Shop.org and first used in 2005.
