GTO News for Group Travel Planners

November 27, 2023

It’s Cyber Monday

While there are hearty souls among us who brave the Black Friday crowds to score a sale, others are content to stay in their jammies and wait for Cyber Monday!

Cyber Monday began in 2005, just as online shopping really took off.  But it wasn’t until 2014 when online retailers earned over $2 billion in profits that Cyber Monday became one of the biggest shopping holidays in the United States.

As Cyber Monday 2023 approaches, do your homework.  Find out which of your favorite online retailers will have deep discounts on the items you want most, then get ready to jump online when the clock strikes 12:00!

Happy Shopping!!
