About Cyber Monday 2027
Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation to describe the surge of online shopping on the Monday after Thanksgiving. It has since grown into one of the largest online shopping events globally, with retailers offering flash sales, limited-time discounts, and exclusive online-only deals. The event particularly benefits shoppers who prefer to avoid crowded stores and instead hunt for bargains on electronics, software, travel packages, and subscription services from their computers and phones. Many retailers now extend Cyber Monday into a full week of online deals.

The History of Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday was created in 2005 by the National Retail Federation specifically to be the online version of Black Friday. The name was chosen because retailers noticed a huge spike in online sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving — when people returned to work with fast office internet (many people still had dial-up at home!) and used their work computers to shop during their lunch breaks or downtime. The first Cyber Monday in 2005 generated about $485 million in online sales, which seemed huge at the time — but it was just the beginning of what would become the biggest online shopping day of the year.
The growth of Cyber Monday was explosive. By 2010, just five years after its creation, Cyber Monday sales had tripled to $1.5 billion. By 2015, sales hit $3 billion. And by 2020, fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic that made in-store shopping dangerous and pushed even more shopping online, Cyber Monday sales surpassed $11 billion — making it not just the biggest online shopping day of the year, but one of the biggest shopping days period. What started as a marketing gimmick to get people to shop online had become a cultural phenomenon that completely transformed the holiday shopping season.
Interestingly, Cyber Monday was almost called 'Blue Monday' instead — the marketing team that created the name considered several options before settling on Cyber Monday. The original idea for Cyber Monday actually came from a 2004 press release from Shop.org that noted online sales spiked on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The National Retail Federation saw an opportunity to brand this trend and create a dedicated online shopping holiday, and Cyber Monday was born. Today, Cyber Monday is so successful that many retailers now offer the same deals online on Black Friday itself, blurring the line between the two shopping holidays — but Cyber Monday still consistently outsells Black Friday online year after year.
Cyber Monday Traditions
⚡ Lightning Deals and Flash Sales
Lightning deals are the signature Cyber Monday tradition — limited-quantity, heavily discounted items that sell out in minutes or even seconds. Amazon invented the lightning deal format, and now every major online retailer uses them on Cyber Monday. These deals create FOMO (fear of missing out) that drives shoppers to check the site constantly throughout the day. The most popular lightning deals — electronics, video game consoles, smart devices, and toys — can sell out in under 30 seconds. Some retailers even release new lightning deals every hour or every 30 minutes throughout Cyber Monday, keeping shoppers engaged and coming back to the site all day long. Many shoppers set alarms or use browser extensions to get notified when popular deals go live.
🖥️ Shopping at Work (The Original Cyber Monday Tradition)
Shopping at work is the original Cyber Monday tradition — and the reason the holiday was created on a Monday in the first place! Back in 2005 when Cyber Monday launched, most people still had slow dial-up internet at home, but they had fast broadband internet at work. The Monday after Thanksgiving was the first day back at work for most people, and they would use their fast work internet to do their holiday shopping during lunch breaks, meetings, or whenever their boss wasn't looking. Even today, with high-speed internet available at home, a huge percentage of Cyber Monday shopping still happens during work hours — workplace internet traffic spikes by over 50% on Cyber Monday, and productivity drops significantly as employees shop instead of working. Some companies even embrace it, giving employees extra break time to do their holiday shopping.
🔌 Browser Extensions and Deal Hunters
Using browser extensions and deal-hunting tools has become an essential Cyber Monday tradition for serious shoppers. Extensions like Honey, Rakuten, Capital One Shopping, and CamelCamelCamel automatically apply coupon codes, compare prices across retailers, track price history to make sure deals are actually good, and even alert you when items you want go on sale. These extensions have become so popular that major retailers have had to adapt — some even block certain extensions or create special deals exclusively for users of specific extensions. The deal-hunting community on Reddit (especially r/deals and r/buildapc) also plays a huge role on Cyber Monday, with thousands of users sharing and vetting deals in real-time. Many serious shoppers spend weeks researching products and setting up alerts before Cyber Monday even arrives.
📱 Mobile Shopping
Mobile shopping has become an increasingly important part of Cyber Monday. In the early days of Cyber Monday, almost all shopping was done on desktop computers at work. But today, over 40% of Cyber Monday sales happen on mobile phones — and that percentage grows every year. Retailers have invested heavily in mobile apps and mobile-optimized websites, and many now offer app-exclusive deals on Cyber Monday to encourage people to shop on their phones. Push notifications from retail apps alert shoppers the second a deal goes live, making it easy to shop from anywhere — on the commute, during lunch, even while lying in bed. The rise of mobile shopping has also made impulse buying even easier on Cyber Monday, as shoppers can buy something in seconds the second they see a good deal.
📦 Free Shipping and Fast Delivery
Free shipping has become one of the biggest draws of Cyber Monday. Most major retailers offer free shipping site-wide on Cyber Monday with no minimum purchase requirement, or with very low minimums — something they almost never do the rest of the year. Amazon Prime's free two-day shipping completely changed customer expectations, and now free fast shipping is table stakes for any retailer on Cyber Monday. In fact, free shipping is consistently ranked as the most important factor for shoppers deciding where to shop on Cyber Monday — even more important than the actual price of items! Many shoppers will abandon their cart if shipping isn't free, even if the base price is lower. Retailers know this, and they use free shipping as their number one tool to get shoppers to buy on Cyber Monday instead of waiting.
🛒 Curbside Pickup and BOPIS
Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS) and curbside pickup have become huge Cyber Monday traditions since the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated their adoption. Shoppers love the convenience: they get the online deals and avoid the Black Friday crowds, but they also get their items immediately instead of waiting for shipping. Many retailers now prioritize BOPIS orders on Cyber Monday, with dedicated pickup areas and even contactless curbside pickup. This hybrid model gives shoppers the best of both worlds: online prices and instant gratification. It also solves one of the biggest problems of online holiday shopping — shipping delays that mean presents don't arrive in time for Christmas. BOPIS lets shoppers take advantage of Cyber Monday deals while still being guaranteed to have their items in time for the holidays.
