Millions Seize Deals on Cyber Monday Shopping Spree

Published November 28, 2023

In Salinas, California, residents flocked to Northridge Mall, getting a head start on their holiday shopping. While many prefer the traditional in-person shopping experience, a significantly large number leveraged the discounts available during Cyber Monday.

"I love shopping online," shared Danielle Blackwell, a local shopper. "I took advantage of the Cyber Monday sales and picked up my deals at the mall today." Danielle, like many others, finds the convenience of online shopping to suit her lifestyle better.

For some, like Eva Gamble who juggles caring for a child with special needs, online shopping proves indispensable. "It allows me to shop from home, which is much easier for me," she explained.

Adobe Analytics predicted a $12 million spend for this Cyber Monday—an increase of 6% compared to last year's figures.

Dairo Romero, a financial advisor, observed that many especially within the Latino community, find online shopping more convenient than tackling crowded malls and limited parking.

Danielle also noted that she capitalized on the Cyber Monday event to purchase electronics. Companies like Amazon are expected to be busier than the norm, with the online rush an annual phenomenon as confirmed by CBS reports.

Powerful deals and the ease of shopping from home continue to make Cyber Monday a highly anticipated event for consumers every year.
