Green Monday? What next?
I see, from the advertisements in my emails, that today is Green Monday. I’ve never heard of that one before.

What else do we need in an attempt to part us from our money?

Haven't heard of it till now... I don't think Black Friday went so well. With most retailers extending their sales.

I've got no problem with it. Yesterday Sportsman's Guide offered an additional discount (except firearms) on top of the normal Buyer's Club discount + free shipping. Another 540 rd.can of Malaysian 7.62x51 for $198.55 to my door.

From Wiki:

"Green Monday is an online retail industry term similar to Cyber Monday. The term was coined by eBay in 2007 to describe the best sales day in December,usually the second Monday of December. Green Monday is defined more specifically by business research organization comScore as the last Monday with at least 10 days prior to Christmas.

In 2009, $854 million was spent online in the US on Green Monday, with sales in 2011 reaching $1.133 billion. In 2012, Green Monday topped out at $1.27 billion, up 13% from 2011 and the third heaviest online sales day for the season behind Cyber Monday and Dec. 4, 2012 (which had no marketing tie-in), according to comScore. In 2014, Green Monday online sales grossed a record $1.6 billion, albeit still lower than Cyber Monday's $2.68 billion during the same year."

I'd heard of it, but never saw it as publicly advertised until this year. I'd always heard it referred to from a business perspective, i.e. "Green Monday is next week, hopefully we get a sales boost", never a marketing "Green Monday Deals!" standpoint.
