Black Friday and Cyber Monday is over but don’t hit the pause button yet. Green Monday is annually held on the second Monday of December.
Green Monday is another chance to market to your customers.
This holiday is all about buying and selling online. As an entrepreneur you have a potential to increase your 4th quarter sales.

During this time, many people start to panic because they realize they don’t have much time left to get their gifts in time for the holidays.
The origin of Green Day technically started in 2017 after eBay had the best sales day of the year.
The  Green aspect refers to a dollar bill and the idea of online shopping being more environmentally friendly.
Green Monday is also known as Cyber Monday 2.0.
It’s when consumers are drawn to the “second chance” deals, especially those who didn’t complete their list during Cyber Monday.
Green Monday has yet to surpass Cyber Monday but consumers are continuously drawn to spend money during this time of the year to avoid last-minute missing packages.
Green Monday is a brisk holiday. Offer a 24-hour sale with the hottest deals accompanied by a countdown to create strong hype for such a short sale.
Avoid mentioning Green Monday during Cyber Monday to reduce the risk of people waiting until Green Monday to start their shopping.

Prepare Your store For Green Monday

Create Sense of Urgency

Green Monday will be over before you know it. Consumers are more likely to go through with the purchase if there is a time limit to get a particular deal.
Add a countdown timer to encourage shoppers to make a purchase immediately.
Another effective way is to use scarcity by adding “limited stock” button to your items, letting customers know the items are selling out quickly.
