eMonday 2020, slated for November 30^th this year, is sponsored by the Department of Economic Development (EDD) and spearheaded by the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation. The initiative’s main objective is to see as many e-tailers (online retail vendors) as possible offer online deals to shoppers. All participating consumers will have to do is shop on those e-tailers’ sites. eMonday aims to support and encourage the continuous development of e-commerce on the Island. When considering the current pandemic, one silver lining is that more of us are supporting local businesses both online and in person. eMonday aims to enhance the practice of shopping online and to motivate sellers and buyers alike to use the Internet when transacting, particularly as the Island gears up for the Holiday Season.

The event will benefit shoppers as well as e-tailers. Prizes will include one $500 voucher to the e-tailer that makes the most individual sales during eMonday 2020, and three $250 vouchers for online buyers to use at any of the participating online shops. To win a $250 voucher, buyers will be included in a raffle by posting on Facebook and Instagram a picture of the product they purchased online and of the top of the e-receipt showing the vendor and dated on eMonday. Posts must tag the vendor, the BEDC (@BEDCBDA) the EDD (@EconomicDevelopmentDepartment), and #eMonday, #GEWBermuda, #BEDC.Buyers are invited to view our list of participating e-tailers and to find out about the products that are subject to eMonday deals.
