Argos is preparing for its busiest day as an excess of three million visits are predicted to flood to its websites and apps on Cyber Monday next week.

On Monday 3 December 2012, Argos received 3.1 million visits across its main website, mobile site and apps – an increase of almost 50% against Cyber Monday 2011.

Graham Barnes, supply director, Argos said: “Almost half of all Argos sales are online and with more customers expected to shop digitally this Christmas, we’re doing everything we can to make it easy for our customers to get what they want, the way that they want it across our stores and delivery channels.

“This year will be the most digital Christmas ever for Argos with customers able to browse gift ideas using our first online gift guide. Our six recently opened digital stores offer local customers benefits such as touch-screen digital browsers and Fast Track collection for online orders.”
