Wal-Mart kicks off Cyber Monday on Friday

We’re all trying to shop smart, especially during this time of the season. If your budget is not meeting your desires, this is an excellent year to look for a seasonal job. Today, most large online shopping sites have a mobile version for easier viewing on smaller screens, and mobile shopping as a platform is still rapidly growing, with large retailers now reporting more sales via mobile devices than via desktop and laptop computers combined.

The aforementioned deal highlights of Walmart’s upcoming sales events make clear that the notion that there is a difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is wrong.

Meanwhile, just one in ten retailers (10%) claimed to be anxious that their digital infrastructure may not cope adequately with the increased demand and 80% of retailers selected logistics as one of the top three areas of improvement they are focusing on this year.

With the election settled and wage growth strengthening, there could be an upside surprise to retail results this holiday season. Many businesses have taken stands against opening on Thanksgiving. Therefore an idea such as Black Friday could be very powerful in getting consumers into stores. With Walmart’s cyber deals on the table, we can compare the deals to what Walmart will offer on Thanksgiving.

It’s easy to tap into worldwide deals, from Britain as well as the U.S., online. According to the American Express website, approximately 95 million people shopped at small businesses on Small Business Saturday previous year, and in so doing, they spent $16.2 billion. Find the most low-priced place to buy the item you want before you hit the shops, then compare prices through your phone whilst shopping. GameStop (Eastwood Mall), will also be closed on Thanksgiving and will open on Black Friday at 5 a.m. Sam’s Club (Niles, OH), will also not open until Black Friday.

He adds: “Christmas is an extremely busy time for customers, but with more products now on sale for a longer period, we’re hoping to take the stress out of Christmas shopping for our customers”. No worries, Cyber-Monday is coming. Use discipline when shopping, though.

The fallout had seen more people crossing the border into Northern Ireland in search of bargains but there has also been a significant rise in the number of people shopping on UK-based websites. Stick strictly to your list to avoid “saving” on something you do not need or want.

Walmart Spokesman, Ravi Jariwala, says the company began researching ways to make holiday shopping a more convenient experience and found moving their Cyber Monday special would be ideal for millions of online shoppers. Many are eligible for free shipping.

Yes sir, you read that right – a whole month of sales. Leave your bank cards at home. Instead, make online cash purchases with a service such as PayPal, which lets you transfer funds directly and securely from a checking or savings account. Thanksgiving Day is the best day for jewelry purchases. Perhaps even booking a room at a local hotel in a shopping haven, such as Freeport, Maine, can provide a mini “vacation” and will give you two full days to complete all your shopping in one trip. Bargainers may find that Amazon is the gift that keeps on giving this season.
