With Black Fridays deals coming to an end, online shoppers can get excited for "Cyber Monday!" Cyber Monday refers to the first Monday immediately following Black Friday that marks the start of holiday online shopping. The idea behind "Cyber Monday" is that consumers would return to their offices after the Thanksgiving holiday and Black Friday weekend and make purchases online that they didn't make in stores. Though shopping at your cubicle might not be the best idea for everyone, you should find some time to take advantage of the great online deals!
So how do you find the Cyber Monday sales? Just like regular sale shopping, it's very important to do your research! Visit Cyber Monday sites by doing a Google search. These sites post "leaked" ads that let you know where the deals are, so keep checking back on Monday. I would suggest checking CyberMonday.com, which will post tons of deals, promo codes, and links. Some other great sites to visit are GottaDeal.com and Offers.com, which are already posting Cyber Monday deals. There are also some great sites you can visit for coupons and promo codes, try CouponWinner.com and PromotionalCodes.com.
Use social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook to find out where others are shopping. Search Twitter hashtags, such as #coupon, #promocode, or #cybermonday. Many retailers are using Twitter to let consumers know where and when the Cyber Monday deals are. Check and see if your favorite store has a Twitter feed by doing a search. The following is a list of retailers that might offer Cyber Monday deals on Twitter:
Sears
Walmart
Toys "R" Us
