Cyber Monday deals are savings and discounts offered by online merchants on the Monday following Black Friday. These deals are Internet exclusive offers which may include shipping discounts, time sensitive sales and other deals that are not available regularly. While retail stores celebrate the start of the Christmas shopping season on Black Friday, online merchants do this the following Monday.

Many major retailers such as Walmart, Target and Best Buy provide shoppers with Cyber Monday deals on their respective online stores. Smaller retailers and independent Internet merchants may also provide savings on this day. These specials are not often released intil the day of the sale, but some merchants offer customers the option to be notified via email of the products and discounts that will be offered.

As shoppers focus on price this holiday season, online retailers will be extremely competitive to offer the very best deals. Americans who are looking to put a dent in their holiday shopping will be able to find thousands of bargains on Cyber Monday.—Scott Silverman, Executive Director of Shop.org
