Outlook for Cyber Monday Week and Holiday Shopping Season
Experts project over $11 billion will be spent online for Cyber Monday 2023 based on early data, which would make it once again the biggest online shopping day ever.
We can expect to see similarly hot tech deals continue through the rest of Cyber Monday week as retailers try to juice sales before the end of November. So there’s still time to score a discount even if you missed a particular deal earlier.
Overall holiday spending this year is forecasted to rise about 7% over 2022. Shoppers have shown a willingness to hunt for deals but also splurge on fancier gifts like MacBooks and iPads. However, uncertainty looms thanks to high inflation and recession worries. Retailers may need to discount even deeper than usual to clear inventory by year’s end.
About Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday is the Monday after U.S. Thanksgiving, representing the "online" start to the holiday shopping season. While Black Friday deals once focused on in-store doorbusters, the rise of ecommerce has made Cyber Monday almost as critical to retailers.
Cyber Monday dates back to the early 2000s. The name was coined by executives at Shop.org to encourage people to shop online when most only had internet access at work.
These days shoppers can conveniently browse deals and make purchases anytime over the 4-5 day Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend. Retailers like Amazon and Walmart spread out deals over many days online. Still, data shows the Monday timeframe attracts peak traffic and conversion rates.
