What Are You Doing Today? By Tim Hodson

Happy Cyber Monday!

Welcome back from the Thanksgiving weekend and into December and the onslaught of the holiday shopping season.

As you probably already know, today is Cyber Monday – the busiest online shopping day of the year. According to the National Retail Federation, nearly 127 million people will be doing some kind of shopping on their computers, tablets and smartphones today.

They’ll reportedly be doing $2.6 billion worth of shopping today!

I don’t know about you but my email box has been inundated with all kinds of offers from retailers to do a little (or a lot of) surfing and purchasing.

But this year I noticed something just a little different – I’ve seen emails from some industry suppliers who are now participating in Cyber Monday mania too.

These suppliers are offering growers online specials that are only good today. Some of the deals include significant discounts on certain category or product purchases today only or credit that can be applied to future purchases. Offers that you don’t see every day.

Have you received a plethora of Cyber Monday offers too? Will you be participating in any Cyber Shopping activities today? Will your purchases be personal or professional?

Drop me a line at thodson@greatamericanpublish.com and let me know what you are doing this Cyber Monday.
