Cyber Monday is one of the biggest sales in the United States. Thousands of people tend to purchase a lot of things before the festive season. The sales of different commodities usually skyrocket on this day. Loads of offers and deals galore on this day.
However, the festive season is not the same this year. The onset of the covid pandemic has impacted people’s lives significantly. A lot of people lost their jobs due to the shutdown. Families are in dire need of financial assistance at the moment. The federal government provided stimulus checks to the needy. However, that money was used up quickly. Such a situation saw the sales going down in America. The Black Friday Sales also suffered a notable dip.
One of the biggest reasons for the slow sales was the lack of offers. The buyers were not offered much of a deal. Most of the online platforms opted for fewer deals and offers. This repelled the buyers to a great extent. The sales turnover on Cyber Monday was recorded at $7million till 9 pm. Let us learn more about the incident in detail below.
