All about Cyber Monday in the UK
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a shopping sale held every year right after Black Friday. Unlike Black Friday, Cyber Monday is focused on online shopping. Customers can pick up some amazing deals when they shop online during the sale.
Cyber Monday has become more popular in the UK in recent years. Some retailers run a weekend of sales beginning with Black Friday and ending with Cyber Monday. Others run a special Cyber Monday sale with deals only available during the day itself.
During Cyber Monday you can expect discounts of up to 70%. Most major retailers will take part in the sale. In particular Cyber Monday is an important sale for tech products and electronics. Online-only retailers such as Amazon will have some big discounts, and high street retailers such as Currys PC World, Boots, GAME and John Lewis will also join the sale.

What else do I need to know?
Is it safe to shop online?
Definitely. Online shopping is now very safe as there is plenty of technology to protect your purchases. In November 2017, internet sales made up 19% of total retail sales in the UK, and this figure rises every year. However, you can help to ensure your safety online by always buying from reputable retailers and checking that websites you visit have the correct address displayed in your browser.
Should I wait for Cyber Monday?
You don’t have to wait until Cyber Monday to save money on your purchases. There are ways to save money at any time of the year. Try shopping with online discount vouchers. These are always available and are regularly updated.
You can also shop at other sales events throughout the year. For example, check out the Back to School sale and Black Friday.
Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday
Black Friday is the older sibling of Cyber Monday with a much longer history. It always takes place on the day after Thanksgiving, which this year is 23rd November. On Black Friday you’ll find sales in most major retailers, both in stores and online. If you enjoy the thrill of physically scrambling to pick up a bargain, you might like shopping on Black Friday. But if you prefer browsing the sale from the comfort of your couch, then Cyber Monday is for you. Whereas Black Friday features sales on all kinds of items, Cyber Monday is more focused on tech and electronics.
How does Cyber Monday in the UK compare to…
…the rest of Europe
In the rest of Europe Cyber Monday is slowly growing, but is still far behind the UK in terms of sale figures and numbers of retailers participating. But other countries take part and the sale continues to grow every year. In the Netherlands over 100 retailers regularly take part, while in Belgium revenues doubled from 2015 to 2016 as the sale became more popular.
…to the USA
Cyber Monday began in the US and the sale has remained extremely popular there. But the UK is quickly catching up as more consumers choose to shop online. The tech industry is growing as people invest in smart tech for their homes and wearable tech is another growing industry that is shopped heavily on Cyber Monday. With some fashion retailers also joining the sale, the popularity of the sale in both the US and the UK is moving beyond tech and electronics to cover all online shopping.
