Be sure to check out our valuable tips for holiday savings during Cyber Week – “yule” be glad you did!
Cyber Week: Good things come from online purchases
Cyber Week is an excellent opportunity to score some deals, with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday among some of the most popular shopping days in America.
You can snag incredible, money-saving deals during Cyber Week from online retailers, offering an array of special promotions, discounts, and sales starting right after Thanksgiving dinner. You’ve likely heard of the big holiday shopping days like Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. To recap:
Black Friday
Black Friday is a term for the Friday after Thanksgiving when many brick-and-mortar stores offer a variety of items at discounted prices.
Small Business Saturday
The Saturday after Thanksgiving is a joyful way to support small businesses and all they do for our communities. They particularly need support to combat the lingering effects of COVID-19 and the increasing impact of inflation. Shop local!
Cyber Monday
Online retailers usually offer special promotions, discounts, and sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend.
It’s not just online stores that offer significant savings. Traditional brick-and-mortar retailers also offer exclusive website-only deals. So, spend time comparison shopping so you’re getting the best deals available.
