Survey Reveals: Consumers Get Results on Cyber Monday-- LOS ANGELES, Nov 24, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- While many consumers (42%) think of Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving, as an online memory-jogger to kick-start their holiday shopping plans, this year many shoppers are viewing Cyber Monday through the lens of a Click 'n' Save Day. In fact, more than 8 out of 10 shoppers will be on the look-out for discounts, 69% will be searching for free shipping, 53% will scour the web for one-day promotions and 32% will keep their eyes open for buy-one-get-one-free promotions, according to Shopzilla®. Cyber Monday has become so famous for its good deals that many consumers prefer waiting until Monday to shop online rather than heading out to the stores for the traditional Black Friday deals. Even the browsers - not shoppers - are using Cyber Monday to strategically prowl the web for promotions and savings. Fifty-one percent say they will log on to check on deals, and 21% will comparison shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Dave Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 How about "Black Wednesday"? I noticed that BB dropped the price of the Panasonic DMP-BD35K Blu-Ray player $50. I am in the buying mood these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Dave Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Do you suspose they want shipping charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Probably - but keep in mind that as an export item it will have the tax deducted from the price (we pay 17.5% here - but it's being reduced to 15% shortly) I don't have that problem - their branch is just a bus ride from where I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
