Many news reports are calling November 26 Cyber Monday, the busiest shopping day for online retail. The problem is they are wrong. "Cyber Monday" was a term dreamt up by the National Retail Federation in order to build energy. Even Scott Krugman, spokesman for the Federation, admits November 26 "is by no means the busiest for online sales." So next time a news report calls Cyber Monday the busiest online shopping day of the year give, your media source a call and correct them. The true busiest day is the last possible day items can be shipped in time for Christmas.
