Cyber Monday  (/saɪbə(r)//ˈmʌnˌdeɪ/) – An e-commerce term coined based on research showing that 78% of online retailers reported a significant increase in sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving sparking a trend that drives serious online discounts and promotions.

I love Cyber Monday!  It is one of the few “Mondays” that I like (cue Garfield®). Cyber Monday combines two things that I love:  shopping and a bargain!  So bring it on Cyber Monday sales, I’ve made a pledge to shop #handmade as much as possible this holiday season and I’ve got my Etsy gift guides ready!

Happy Shopping!

Cyber Monday Shopping Tips:

Rest Assured:  Federal regulations generally require shipment within 30 days of purchase.

Pay Wisely:  Credit cards offer better consumer protection than debit cards, but one of the safest bets in Paypal, which helps consumers avoid typing sensitive credit card information on many different websites.

Shop Smart:  Shop from a computer with a firewall and good virus protection.
