“According to a recent survey of Walmart customers, nearly 1 in 5 don’t plan to shop Cyber Monday until the evening. And more than 40% of these customers say it’s because they have to plan around work schedules,” the company said. “One in three Millennials plan to start their Cyber Monday shopping in the evening based on their work schedules or social obligations. And last year, 34% of women said they shopped Cyber Monday after 5 p.m. versus just 26% of men.”
