What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Historically, Black Friday sales took place in physical stores, whereas Cyber Monday took place in cyberspace. Nowadays anything goes and most sales take place online so people can snag a bargain or ten from the sweet comfort of their couch.

Cyber Monday officially falls on November, 29 this year. The major online shopping event is big on gadgets, electronics, fashion, gifts and more. Sometimes, brands will wait until Cyber Monday to launch an even better deal, so if you miss out on nabbing a Black Friday sale, all hope isn’t lost. Obviously, if there’s a wild deal running then you’d be smart to nab it then and there as nothing is guaranteed during the online chaos.
