Whilst Black Friday is celebrated on a global scale and is widely accepted as a shopping event, how is Cyber Monday any different, and more importantly - which one is better?
In 2021, Black Friday is falling on the 26th of November, and is also punctuated by a wave of pre-Black Friday sales up to weeks before the event. Cyber Monday, on the other hand, falls on the 29th of November. The biggest, undeniable difference is that whilst a majority of us still do our Black Friday shopping in actual stores, Cyber Monday is a completely internet related affair. It began in 2005 when internet shopping was in its early stages, and retailers wanted to promote it through yet another shopping event./p>
But with Black Friday and Cyber Monday so close together, the deals often seem to be blurring together in a weekend shopping event, ending on the 29th of November this year. Pre-Cyber Monday sales can begin before or during Black Friday, with deals for both events up for grabs at stores such as Argos or Amazon - so which ones are better?/p>
It actually comes down to what you’re looking for specifically. Black Friday might be better for those looking to get deals on tech - largely because these items are so popular, they might sell out before Cyber Monday even has a chance to offer any deals on them! And if you’re looking for larger products, such as major appliances, or popular home decor items, they’re more popular during Black Friday./p>
On the other hand, if you want smaller, less popular items that don’t immediately sell out on Black Friday - such as fashion, or smaller appliances like coffee makers - then Cyber Monday would actually be a better choice. It’s all about keeping an eye out for the best deals, and timing your purchase!/p>
Of course, Cyber Monday might also be a better choice for those who want to do all their shopping from the comfort of their home. In either case - get ready for some pre-Black Friday deals coming to you later this month!/p>
