Cyber Monday Symbols

  • “Black Friday” was first used to describe the post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy in the 1960s by newspapers in Philadelphia. At the time, the newspapers felt the massive crowds in stores and insanity in the aisles were comparable to the original “Black Friday”: a stock-market panic that followed the collapse of the price of gold on September 24, 1864.
  • Cyber Monday on the other hand was a pure marketing term coined in 2005. “Cyber Monday” was designed to encourage a digital counterpart to the physical shopping frenzy Black Friday. Though claims of its success were overstated at the time, it has rapidly become the biggest ecommerce event in the US. A record breaking $7.9 billion was spent last year.
  • The traditional distinction between the two is that Black Friday is a physical event and Cyber Monday is digital. However, things are changing and, in the US, Black Friday has rapidly become an ecommerce event in its own right: Online sales jumped to over $6 billion last year.
  • Holiday shopping has concentrated around the Black Friday weekend but there are other opportunities in the season for publishers that want to write commerce content. For starters, Thanksgiving is a great opportunity: We had an 8% conversion rate on that day last year. Likewise “Silent” Saturday and Sunday – the days sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday – are often wrongly overlooked. They’re a fantastic opportunity to keep promoting commerce content.
  • Google Trends data shows interest in Black Friday picks up from September each year and last year interest in the event reached an all-time high. Publishers have varied when they publish content for Black Friday: In 2016 content was published as early as August, whereas in 2017, 24 of the top 25 articles were published in November.
