Are you ready for Cyber Monday? You know, that “biggest online shopping day of the year,” which comes around the Monday following the traditional Black Friday windfall for brick-and-mortar stores? What? That’s not your biggest selling day?

The term Cyber Monday was coined in 2005, and was reported on by the media as if it had been around for years, much to the surprise of eCommerce retailers. According to comScore, the day wasn’t even in the top ten, with the biggest shopping day falling on December 13th in 2006.
