Cyber Monday Infographic - From Genesis to Consumption

This is really an unintentional two-parter of my earlier Cyber Monday post from November 28th entitled "Cyber Monday Is Here To Stay".  If you didn't like that one, I guess you're out of luck again. :)

In 2010, Cyber Monday sales topped $1 billion in the United States, making it the highest day for online retail on record. Add to this the fact that even more retailers are discounting their products on Black Friday — The message is getting through and online consumers are responding. Sales for products and services online this past Friday November 25th were up by 24.3% compared to last year, according to an IBM survey of 500 retailers.

For another look at Cyber Monday’s inception and how the shopping phenomenon has grown during the past six years, check out the infographic below.
