Amazon Prime Day: TBC
Prime Day is a global online shopping event that is exclusive to Amazon Prime Members. This sale enables members to redeem offers and grab a bargain on a huge range of gadgets, jewellery, watches, fashion and more! Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Amazon Prime Day was moved from its original US summer date until mid-October. There has been no official word from the company on whether the event will switch back to its usual June date, however, more than likely it will.
CLICK FRENZY: Mayhem 18th May 2021 | The Main Event 9th November 2021
A frenzy indeed! Since its introduction in 2012, Click Frenzy has been heralded as Australia's answer to Cyber Monday-which is a major American online shopping event. A mega sale event that allows Australian retailers to promote exclusive offers to customers on the central 'Click Frenzy' websites has deals that are practically unheard of.
The event occurs four times a year and lasts over 24 hours. Two out of four events are aimed at retailers in all industries-these include Click Frenzy Mayhem and Click Frenzy The Main Event. The other two click frenzy events in the year are aimed at those looking for an epic tech or travel bargain. It's pretty safe to say that this is one event in the online sales world that every shopping goes crazy for.
Single's Day: 11th November 2021
Singe's Day began as a 'spoof holiday' that was celebrated by single University students in the 1990s. In 2009 retailers decided to piggyback off the trend by turning it into a shopping event. It has since become one of the biggest online and offline shopping events of the year with retailers across the board getting involved in it. While the event is still in its infancy here in Australia, it is growing in popularity and is definitely one to keep an eye on for some pretty spectacular sales.
Black Friday: 26th November 2021
Held on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, Black Friday marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and it occurs online as well as in brick and mortar stores. With Aussies spending to the tune of $200 million, Black Friday is quickly becoming 'appointment shopping' here in Australia. Use the next Black Friday sale event as an excuse to splurge on your favourite earrings, necklaces, pendants and more in Grahams' Black Friday jewellery range. If you're a sucker for an elegant timepiece, be sure to check out Grahams' massive range of Back Friday watches too!

So this Sofa Sunday, jump on the couch, prop your feet up and click that 'order' button for some great sales.
Cyber Monday: 29th November 2021
A favourite among online shopping enthusiasts, Cyber Monday is one of the biggest online shopping events in the United States. But thankfully we Aussies get to have a little piece of the action with our shopping event on the Monday following Thanksgiving. Since Cyber Monday coincides with Black Friday, many retailers will extend their sales for the whole weekend. This means you can celebrate the end of the week and then make Monday a tiny bit better with some top-notch bargains!
Cyber Monday is full of generous coupon codes, limited-time offers, exclusive bargains, and of course, special prices that'll allow you to save big! It's also a great time to spruce up your jewellery collection by investing in high-quality diamond bracelets, rings, and more. Luckily for you, Grahams has a fantastic range of their Cyber Monday sale at hard-to-beat prices. Grahams is your destination for Cyber Monday watches and Cyber Monday jewellery!
Green Monday: 13th December 2021
We all know that one person is late for absolutely everything-including buying presents. On Christmas Eve when you're all spending some quality time with your family and cooking in preparation for the big day, chances are they're hitting up the shops before they shut at 5 PM sorting out any last-minute gifts for their loved ones.
Green Monday is kind of in honour of those people as the consensus is that it's a chance to pick up any last-minute Christmas gifts at a great value. It's promoted online by retail giants such as eBay and Amazon as well as a variety of smaller stores. Due to its rising popularity in recent years, Green Monday has been heralded as Cyber Monday 2.
Free Shipping Day: 14th December 2021
There are very few cons to online shopping. It's quick, convenient and offers more variety. One quip that many of us have with online shipping, however, is the shipping costs. This makes a day like Free Shipping Day extra great. Usually held in mid-December, this one-day shopping event provides free shipping with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve. With over 1000 retailers on board, Free Shipping Day has its website where you can score some great deals on last-minute Christmas purchases.
