Walmart has announced a special sales event for Cyber Monday, “the industry-first Cyber Monday ‘Evening Edition’ deals,” as well as a special Cyber Monday deal that will bring consumers savings of up to 90%. These Evening Edition sales have been created for “working Americans and Millennial shoppers,” Walmart said in the announcement.

“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.”

Cyber Monday starts on Monday morning on Walmart.com — see more details about Walmart’s special Cyber Monday deals at this link — and the Evening Edition deals will include the following hot items:

Additionally, Walmart said that it broke its online records on Thanksgiving Day, with more than 500 million page views and the highest online sales day ever second only to Cyber Monday 2013. Furthermore, mobile devices drove more than 70% of Walmart.com traffic on Thanksgiving.
