Online retailers are ramping up heavy-duty deals to turn skittish shoppers into buyers during "Cyber Monday" — but even so, online sales are expected to be fairly flat after years of strong growth.
"Cyber Monday," a term coined by the trade group National Retail Federation in 2005 to describe the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday, is the unofficial kickoff for the busy online retail season.
The Thanksgiving shopping weekend doesn't appear to have been the disaster some had feared, but consumers' tempered buying and stores' unprecedented deep discounts are likely to result in sales that at best met retailers' low expectations.
