Cyber Monday Peak Online Shopping Week is 29 November to 6 December

45% plan to shop online during Cyber Monday Week

LONDON, November 10, 2010 - Cyber Monday, the first Monday of December, is known as the busiest
shopping day of the year before Christmas and this year falls on the 6th of
December. Cyber Monday sales start on 29 November in the US and Germany with
some US based retailers promoting Cyber Monday sales on their UK websites.
According to a new CyberMonday.co.uk online survey conducted by YouGov, 45%
of online UK adults plan to shop online between 29 November and 6 December
with 27% to spend over 200 GBP online for Christmas gifts this year. Almost
three fifths (57%) of those aged 25 to 44 plan to shop Cyber Monday week
versus just 35% aged 55+.

The Cyber Monday peak can be attributed to workers receiving their last
pay cheque before Christmas, taking advantage of fast Internet during lunch
at the office without fussy family around and needing packages delivered
early before December holiday leave. According to Matthew Cheng, MD of
eCoupons.co.uk and creator of CyberMonday.co.uk, "Not only are US based
retailers like Apple and Adobe having global Black Friday and Cyber Monday
sales this year, but now many UK retailers are embracing the Cyber Monday
sale concept." Early CyberMonday.co.uk sale participants include Kaspersky
Labs, The Gift Experience, Historic Newspapers and Personalised Gift Ideas.
Argos plans to have a "Cyber Monday" voucher code during the Cyber Monday
peak week.

David Smith, MD of IMRG said, "Last year, 350m pounds was spent on Cyber
Monday. Growth for the first three quarters of 2010 has averaged 16% above
last year and 3 percentage points above our 2010 forecast. During the fourth
quarter we predict Britons will spend 17.4 billion pounds shopping online, up
from 15 billion pounds in the fourth quarter of 2009."

"Retailers need to be ready this year for Cyber Monday which is set to be
a record breaking internet retailing traffic day. Sites need to be ready and
cope with big spikes in activity - slow page loading times or site crashes
mean lost customers," said Dominic Monkhouse, UK MD at PEER 1 Hosting.

Last week, Amazon.de announced it was having a Cyber Monday sale in
Germany.
