What Other Shopping Days Are There?
After Black Friday’s rise in popularity, Cyber Monday was coined by marketing experts in 2005 to promote online shopping on the Monday following Thanksgiving. The term was created by Ellen Davis and Scott Silverman of the National Retail Federation (NRF), who noticed a significant surge in online shopping on the first Monday after Thanksgiving.
In addition to Cyber Monday, there’s Small Business Saturday—a day dedicated to supporting local businesses, which always falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. In 2024, Small Business Saturday will be on November 30. It was created by American Express to encourage shoppers to spend their holiday dollars at small, local businesses.
