When did Cyber ​​Monday first start?

Cyber ​​Monday first became a thing back in 2005, as a way for e-commerce to get in on some of the Black Friday action.

As internet e-commerce became more prevalent, so did the rise of sales at online stores the Monday after Thanksgiving to the point where brick-and-mortar stores began to get in on the idea to help boost sales even more.
