After a Black Friday that was ranked by many shopping outlets in the US as one of their most successful ever, it seems that some of these retailers are also willing to bank on another “tradition” that's only a couples of years old, namely Cyber Monday, dedicated to online shopping.
And the first to do so is
Walmart, who's announced that it will launch its Cyber Week of savings early this year, offering six days of price cuts on a large assortment of must-have holiday items while supplies last.
Practically, as the retail chain informs us, more than 150 holiday gifts and other items will be offered online at Walmart.com beginning on Sunday, Nov. 28 through Friday, Dec. 3.
