Data Doctors Radio Program
Preparing for Cyber Monday (or Tue, Wed, etc.)
Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by shop.org to draw attention to the slight uptick in online activity the Monday after Black Friday.
This marketing campaign has lived on as a myth, since Cyber Monday is far from the busiest online shopping day of the year.
The data suggests that Dec 5-15 is the stretch when the most online purchases are made, so don't feel compelled to make all your purchases on Monday.
Having cleared that up, we want to focus this week's show on the resources that will help you become a wiser & more informed online shopper.
Listen in as the Data Doctors discuss many online resources as well as tips to becoming a better online shopper!
