Green Monday

Green Monday is an online retail industry term similar to Cyber Monday. The term was coined by Shopping.com,[1] an eBay company, in 2007[2] to describe the best eCommerce sales day in December,[3][4] usually the second Monday of December. After doing some internal research, they realized that the second Monday in December was the last day that shoppers were able to place an online order that would arrive in time for the holidays.[5] Green Monday is defined more specifically by business research organization comScore as the last Monday with at least 10 days prior to Christmas.

This article is about the unofficial shopping holiday. For the Eastern Orthodox movable feast, see Clean Monday. For Green Monday in general, see Green Monday (disambiguation).
