So you thought Black Friday was over? False. In this digital era, online retailers have created "Cyber Monday" – it takes place the Monday after Thanksgiving (today) when online shoppers are offered free shipping, free gift cards, and other big discounts throughout the day. My blackberry has been blowing up today with e-mails from Neiman Marcus, Barnes & Noble, William-Sonoma, and David Yurman – each notifying me of discounts and free shipping offers. Even though these offers are enticing, I prefer to do my holiday shopping face-to-face in the physical stores. Nevertheless, many avid shoppers are all over these special deals.
According to a
CNN article, By 11:15 this morning, more than 270 retailing Web sites tracked by Akamai, an Internet monitoring firm, were attracting more than 4 million visitors per minute.
Some of the specials offered include a $10 free gift card from LLBean for every $25 spent on the site. Also, Macy's is offering free shipping on purchases over $75.
So if you still have some holiday shopping to do and if you prefer the online route, take advantage of these deals today!
