In 2005, someone from Shop.org had a “eureka” moment. They saw the success Black Friday was for retail stores and wanted to create a shopping holiday of their own. And so, “Cyber Monday” was born.
Since then, online shopping has grown drastically. Online sales have risen by double-digit percentages every holiday season, and this year over half of shoppers are expected some of their holiday shopping online.
Now, with the eve of Black Friday almost upon us, I can envision my American brethren from the south asking “Who’s down to camp out in front of Wal-Mart Thursday night?”. Lines upon lines will be chalk full of eager consumers willing to wait outside in the cold to get their hands on that elusive $7.99 waffle maker.
But why wait outside during the busiest shopping week of the year when all you need to do is order it online? Huge retail stores like Best Buy, K-Mart and GAP are all partaking in online Black Friday sales. It’s trends like these that make me believe it’s only a matter of time before eCommerce becomes the method of choice for eager holiday shoppers.
Pidin todella tuosta näkökulmasta – ei enää telttailua kaupan edessä, vaan kaikki parhaat tarjoukset löytyvät helposti verkosta. ???? Itse asiassa tykkään nykyään tehdä ostokset rauhassa kotisohvalta, ja esimerkiksi black friday Gigantti on ollut mulle hyvä paikka löytää elektroniikkaa ja kodinkoneita ilman stressiä tai kiirettä. Onko sinulla muuten joku tietty tuote mielessä, jonka aiot tänä vuonna napata Black Fridayn alennuksista?
