Retailers have been coaxing cautious U.S. shoppers on Cyber Monday - traditionally America's biggest internet shopping day - with push notifications, emails and other ads touting heavily discounted cosmetics, electronics, toys, clothing and other products.
With just 23 days before Christmas, the discounts this year have been deeper, with shoppers waiting for promotion-heavy days, experts have said. For instance, Target said it was offering 50% off thousands of items including video games, home decor and other technology items with a 'two-day Cyber Monday' sale that started on Sunday.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, resident Cheyenne Berens, 29, has been using Amazon's generative AI chatbot Rufus to track prices of baby merchandise and electronics this holiday season. Amazon launched Rufus in February to give customers product recommendations and details based on its entire catalog of merchandise.
I have found that using Rufus on Amazon has been extremely helpful in determining whether a 'deal' is actually a 'deal', Berens said. She's been tracking the fluctuating prices of a Pack 'n' Play portable playpen and waiting for the right time to buy.
