Mainly a page on Criticism and very little about the subject in hand. The page is very unbalanced and is a POV trap. Sawblade05 ( talk to me | my wiki life) 09:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC) reply
So we should ask: is a marketing campaign all that notable? Even culturally significant ads like say Nike's "Just Do It" don't have their own pages. I have not bothered to look very much, but I highly doubt there is any stand-alone article about an ad campaign (happy to be corrected, however), and even if there were, I am sure the notability of that campaign would far exceed that of "Cyber Monday".
Sorry this is getting a bit long-winded. My basic thoughts boil down to:
The term Cyber Monday, a neologism invented by the National Retail Federation's Shop.org division, refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, which unofficially marks the beginning of the Christmas online shopping season.
In recent years, Cyber Monday has become a busy day for online retailers, with some sites offering low prices and other promotions on that day. Like Black Friday, Cyber Monday is often wrongly said to be the busiest shopping day of the year for online shoppers, although in reality several days later in the holiday shopping season are busier.
Earlier in the 2000s the day had more significance (though it was not named as such until 2005) as most people did not have broadband connections at home and presumably used the first day back at work from the long Thanksgiving weekend to take advantage of such connections in the office to do online shopping. In response, many retailers now encourage people to do their online shopping at home on Thanksgiving Day itself by offering their Black Friday sales online that day.
Is there any new information that this article adds that isn't covered by that short blurb? Tejastheory ( talk) 16:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC) reply
