Remember the date- Monday 1 December.
Why? Because it’s the Cyber Monday, one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.
Hundreds of retailers will be slashing prices for 24 hours as consumers scramble to find a bargain for the start of the festive season.
For both consumers and ecommerce retailers alike, it’s important to be prepared, either to know how and where to get the best deals, or to ensure that websites are prepared and ready.
Below we’ve created an infographic that highlights just how big this event, which first started in the US in 2006, has become in Britain.
