On Cyber Monday, millions of people will be looking online for holiday deals. Kathy McBride of Wilmington and Brittany Shermer of Madison are planning on taking advantage of the web-based sales.
“We will be getting electronic gadgets, games and stuff on cyber Monday. That is what we usually work on. I want a computer so we will be looking for that . Midnight again! We don't sleep much for 48 hours.”
According to the National Retail Federation, in 2012 online holiday sales are expected to grow 12%, to $96 billion. On average, each person will do more than a third of their shopping online.
Joy of Winston-Salem says she hopes to pick up bargains on Cyber Monday that she couldn’t find in stores over the weekend.
“I shop on-line because it’s easy. I don't have to fight the crowds and it comes to my door and I get much better deals. It’s much easier to do. Yes. Absolutely!”
Some economists say this year, they expect about 90% of retailers to offer great online sales for Cyber Monday.
