WINNIPEG — With online shopping growing in popularity, so is Cyber Monday.
It is the equivalent of Boxing Day or Black Friday but online.
It is always the first Monday after Black Friday. This year it falls on December 1st.
Winnipeg retailers that offer online shopping are hoping to cash in on the craze.
“There is quite a bit of increase in traffic, probably double the traffic that it would normally be and people are looking to get stuff in time for Christmas so you get that window where it will arrive before then,” said Michael Hamm, the president of Home Run Sports.
Google expects one in three Canadians this year will do their Christmas shopping exclusively online.
It is a growing retail market Mad About Style Boutique on Academy Road had to get in on.
“Our online store launched in October we launched with the intent that our clients would have the option to shop any time 24/7 ,” said Nicola Loewen, with Mad About Style Boutique.
Home Run Sports is offering free shipping for Cyber Monday. Here is the store’s president, Michael Hamm, talking about the importance of online shopping.
