WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF CYBER MONDAY?
Like its big brother Black Friday, Cyber Monday has its origins in the United States.
In 2005, we find for the first time, the expression "Cyber Monday" in the online magazine, SHOP.org, specialist in retail in USA. The reporter had found that online businesses had a higher turnover on the Monday after Thanksgiving. This phenomenon was due to Internet users who wanted to continue to take advantage of Black Friday promotions. This is how Cyber Monday was born, very quickly propelled by Amazon beyond the American borders.
WHAT ARE THE BEST DISCOUNTS OF CYBER MONDAY?
Cyber Monday is often an opportunity for Swiss brands to offer great discounts online.
Last year, during the previous edition of Cyber Monday Switzerland, many brands such as Fnac, Ochsner Shoes or La Redoute offered crazy promotions! L’Occitane was offering 20% off the entire site for its Cyber Monday and offering delivery. Ochsner Shoes had done strong on its previous Cyber Monday and was posting up to 70% off select items only online. The online fashion and decoration brand La Redoute has also offered great discounts such as -40% on a wide selection. Not to mention Unique Sale, which offered up to 72% reduction on household appliances. As for Yallo and Salt, the two operators respectively offered discounts of 65% and 50% on mobile subscriptions.
Cyber Monday is really interesting for high-tech.
