Cyber Monday A Bust?

Apparently “Cyber Monday” is not living up to retailer’s expectations. Maybe it’s just that Black Friday did so well, tripling sales from a year ago, that made yesterday look “bad”. Either way, I don’t think anyone can complain, shoppers shopped their hearts (and wallets) out.

Retailers, of course, have breathlessly promoted the first Monday after Thanksgiving as a crucial day for online shopping, the day Web cash registers were supposed to be stuffed as bargain hunters got an early jump on holiday gift buying. But in all the effort to hype the day, somebody forgot to tell consumers.
