English

Subject field(s)
  • Merchandising Techniques
CONT

And long before today's Cyber Monday — the U. S. shopping phenomenon following hot on the heels of Black Friday — became an annual American Thanksgiving marketing blitz to encourage consumers to go online for their bargains.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques marchandes
DEF

Journée du lundi qui suit la fête américaine de l'Action de grâce [...] et au cours de laquelle les commerçants offrent des rabais substantiels sur les achats en ligne.

Key term(s)
  • Cyber lundi

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Técnicas mercantiles
DEF

[...] jornada en la que los comerciantes de Estados Unidos y otros países lanzan ofertas y promociones para aumentar las ventas por internet[,] suele celebrarse el primer lunes después de Acción de Gracias.

OBS

ciberlunes: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el término "ciberlunes" es adecuado en español para referirse a lo que en inglés se llama "Cyber Monday" [...] Puesto que en español el elemento compositivo ciber- se escribe con i latina, la grafía adecuada de este sustantivo es "ciberlunes", y no "cyberlunes". Además, se escribe en una sola palabra, no "ciber lunes", pues en español los términos que comienzan con elementos compositivos se escriben unidos [...] Aunque en sentido estricto no se trata de un nombre propio ni de una festividad —⁠lo que lleva a escribir esta expresión con inicial minúscula—, puede percibirse como el nombre propio de una campaña comercial. En este caso no resulta inadecuado escribirlo con inicial mayúscula ("Ciberlunes").
