Your Ultimate Guide to Cyber Monday Sales

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday was created to help businesses capitalise on the flurry of shopping generated in bricks-and-mortar stores by Black Friday, happening just a few days prior. It’s grown in popularity and continues to be a popular event for online shoppers in the USA and now in many other countries around the world, including Australia.

When is Cyber Monday?

In 2023, Cyber Monday will be on Monday 27th November. It kicks off the official Christmas shopping season in style with deals, discounts and a frenzy of activity. It’s a great opportunity to get ahead of the crowds and get your holiday shopping sorted before a lot of other people have even started thinking about it.

What’s the difference between Cyber Monday and Black Friday?

The most obvious difference is the dates, but while Black Friday deals can be found both in-store and online, Cyber Monday sales are purely online. Think of it this way: Black Friday was born out of bricks-and-mortar retail and Cyber Monday is the online equivalent.

When do Cyber Monday deals start?

Deals run around the clock, kicking off at 12am on the day of, so it pays to keep your eyes peeled online. It also pays to be prepared because many deals and discounts are limited, so it’s a case of ‘first in, best dressed’ when it comes to getting the best prices.

Get ready by thinking about what needs upgrading at home

In the lead up to Cyber Monday, have an adventure around your home and see what appliances and white goods might be in need of updating. To help you get started, we’ve put together a checklist of potential items you might want to keep an eye out for at the sales.

TVs

If you’ve been watching sports or The Bachelor on a TV that flickers, Cyber Monday is a good excuse to upgrade your television. TVs have come a long way in the last decade, with new tech dramatically boosting picture and audio quality, plus there are so many options for connectivity. We’ve got a huge range of Plasma TVs, OLED TVs, Ultra HD 4K TVs, LED LCD TVs, 8K TVs, HD TVs and Full HD TVs to explore.

Fridges and freezers

Has your family grown in size and you’re struggling to fit all the groceries in your fridge? It might be time to upgrade your fridge and freezer. We’ve got some of the world’s most trusted brands all under one roof – like LG, Samsung and Westinghouse – and a range of options to suit different sized kitchens and alcoves.

Small kitchen appliances

Speaking of the kitchen, if you can’t manage a huge overhaul of your bigger appliances (or perhaps you’re renting), adding or upgrading your small kitchen appliances can be a game changer. Cyber Monday is a great time to update items like your toaster, kettle, coffee machine or blender – small changes often make the biggest difference with your everyday routines!

Laundry

Another room to check for appliance upgrades is your laundry. Newer machines are often more energy efficient and water saving too, so there are a lot of benefits to making sure your washer or dryer are up to date. You may even decide to treat yourself to a combined washer dryer instead, especially if you’re short on space.

Computers, tablets and gaming

In the lead up to Christmas, Cyber Monday sales can help you save hundreds of dollars on tech, especially when it comes to a new computer, tablet or gaming device. If the kids are keen on a new Nintendo or PlayStation, or dad needs a new iPad for work, this is a great time of year to entertain your options!

Phones and wearables

From smart watches and fitness trackers, to mobile phones and GPS devices for your car, make sure you review what phones and wearables you already have or are on your wishlist already. Not only do they make great gifts, they’re also super practical as well.

Vacuums and cleaners

Have you noticed a little extra dust around than normal lately? It might be time to check in on your vacuum and other cleaners to make sure they’re working how you need them to. Upgrading these items can turn those house cleaning chores from a bore to a breeze, and the lead up to Cyber Monday sales might be a great time to start doing some research.
