Cyber Monday is loaded with new trends to keep your eye on:
- Deal of the Hour – a new trend shows stores are having brief flash sales that last just an hour. You can see the list of deals at official site cybermonday.com.
- Abandon Cart Coupons – You act like you are shopping, then walk away. Retailers are likely to give you a better deal in order for you to return and complete the sales. Bizrate Insights reports that 23% online shoppers purposely abandon their cart in order to collect coupons. A key component to this working is making sure that you are a registered customer first so that the merchant knows which email address to chase you down.
