Cyber Monday Sales Grow Annually With Help From Technological Advances

Online, December 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Each year Cyber Monday seems to gain popularity. The name that used to bring questions to the faces of many is now becoming a day people anxiously await. And who knows, it may soon overpower the popular rival day of "Black Friday". Cyber Monday is more of an escape for many. Instead of having to beat frantic crowds to a display of on sale iPhones for example, people can now happily sit in the comfort of their own home. Now buyers no longer have to be embarrassed about rushing to a store at 5 a.m. in their pajamas, they can shop right in their bed if they want to!

The numbers are in and online retailers such as Amazon, Overstock.com and EBay are cheering. This year alone, sales for Cyber Monday grew an overall 30 percent! And by 9 a.m. alone sales were already up by 24.1 percent. It proves that people will wake up early to shop, especially when they do not have to drive anywhere or wait in scarily long lines.

Researchers are attributing the growth in sales to increased technological usage. Only a few years ago, people had 1 computer in their household and maybe a second laptop. Now, anyone and everyone can shop for their computer, laptop, tablet and of course their cell phone! People can literally be anywhere and everywhere, out and about even and make a quick simple purchase from a phone application taking a mere minutes to get an item for 70% off! Social media has also aided these efforts where companies can now tell their target market (who has already showed ample interest by following them) when and where the best deals will be. Links can even be directed so they know exactly where to find said item.
