The term Cyber Monday has only been around since 2005 when it was coined to describe the buying done on the Monday after Black Friday.This date provides a great set of information for students to make another infographic or perhaps a wonderful graph where students can calculate the yearly growth.
I obtained the information from this website.
Cyber Monday spending for the years 2005 to 2017.
2005: $484 million
2006: $608 million
2007: $733 million
2008: $846 million
2009: $887 million
2010: $1.028 billion
2011: $1.25 billion
2012: $1.46 billion
2013: $1.74 billion
2014: $2.04 billion
2015: $2.28 billion
2016: $2.67 billion
2017: $3.36 billion
In 2017, the purchases on Cyber Monday were as follows:
22% sought deals on clothing.
21% wanted deals on tablets/laptops/PCs/TVs
17% looked for deals on smart-home gadgets.
15% wanted deals on gift cards
14% preferred looking for deals on toys.
11% sought deals on travel.
The top two retailers who profited from Cyber Monday are:
Amazon who secured about 60% of all Cyber Monday sales via 108 million visitors and 8 million transactions.
Wal-mart was second with only had 8.5% of the sales via 32 visitors who made 1.2 million transmissions.
A few facts.
1. In 2017 81 million people shopped online on Cyber Monday.
2. Cyber Monday has become more popular than Black Friday with a 71% to 69%
3. 75% of the shoppers used a home computer, 43% used a mobile device and 13% used computers at work.
4. 88% in the 18 to 34 age group planned to shop on Cyber Monday while 74% in the 35 to 54 age group planned the same.
Have fun letting students loose with this information to create graphs and infographics so they can learn to communicate mathematical information. Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear. Have a great day.
