Cyber Monday!

Cyber Monday - From Wikipedia:

The term Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. [1] Whereas Black Friday is associated with traditional brick-and-mortar stores, "Cyber Monday" symbolizes a busy day for online retailers. The premise was that consumers would return to their offices after the Black Friday weekend, making purchases online that they were not able to make in stores. Although that idea has not survived the test of time, Cyber Monday has evolved into a significant marketing event, sponsored by the National Retail Federation's Shop.org division, in which online retailers offer low prices and promotions.

What does this mean to you? ONLINE DEALS! Make sure you visit your favourite online shops and get ordering, there is plenty of time to receive your orders before Christmas, plus you won't have to fight for that coveted parking space at the mall!

psst... we happen to know that Mabel's Labels is having a BIG sale on Monday! Check it out at: www.mabel.ca
