<p><span class="xn-location">MONTREAL</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Nov. 16, 2010</span> /CNW/ -- Canadian retailers are kicking off the holiday shopping season with Cyber Black Friday, Cyber Monday and early Boxing Day sales to keep Canadians at home and shopping in front of their computers.  Black Friday (November 26), the biggest U.S. shopping day of the year, is the fourth Friday of November following American <span class="xn-chron">Thanksgiving</span>. Meanwhile, Cyber Monday (November 29), the Monday following Black Friday, is a global phenomena where workers shop online for better prices from the office after spending the weekend browsing in stores.</p>
<p/>
<p><span class="xn-person">Matthew Cheng</span>, founder of eCoupons.ca and creator of CyberBoxingDay.ca said, "Canadians flock to Boxing Day sales after Christmas the same way Americans mob Black Friday sales.  This year, Canadian retailers are trying to create momentum with early Cyber Boxing Day and Black Friday sales to keep shoppers clicking.  Expect 'Boxing Day Prices' on <span class="xn-chron">November 26th</span> from Canadian retailers."</p>
<p/>
<p><span class="xn-person">Jeff Fidler</span>, e-Marketing Manager of The Source said, "Black Friday continues to grow in popularity year over year.  We'll be promoting this event in-store as well as online for the first time. As our Black Friday slogan states - Cross Border Shop, without Crossing the Border.  We'll also have a Cyber Monday sale, an online only event running the week after Black Friday weekend."</p>
<p/>
<p>Talya Schaeffer, creator of CyberBlackFriday.com said, "For the first time, Canadians will have a choice between Black Friday deals on both sides of the virtual border. With Black Friday sales moving online in the U.S. and <span class="xn-location">Canada</span>, Canadians can take advantage of online savings while shopping from the comfort of their homes."</p>
<p/>
<p>"To compete with aggressive US online and brick and mortar retailers, our Canadian ecommerce clients will be promoting more Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year," observed Paresh Vadavia, co-founder of OPM Pros, a <span class="xn-location">Montreal</span> based marketing agency.</p>
<p/>
<p>"No need to travel south of the border this U.S. <span class="xn-chron">Thanksgiving</span>," said <span class="xn-person">Stephen Neufeld</span>, Lenovo <span class="xn-location">Canada</span> e-commerce Marketing Manager. "Lenovo Canada's website will be featuring 'Black Friday' offers for Canadians the weekend of <span class="xn-chron">November 26th</span> and a Cyber Monday offer on <span class="xn-chron">November 29th</span>.  Boxing Day is coming early this year!  Watch for it starting November 26th."</p>
<p/>
<p>The official Cyber Boxing Day (<span class="xn-chron">December 26</span>) is only a few weeks away, let the sales begin!</p>
