Money Matters -- especially on Cyber Monday.
And for some local retailers, it's just as big a sales day as the day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday.
KARK caught up with the owner of Arkansas Flag and Banner in Little Rock.
Kelly McCoy says sales are brisk and getting better, and it's no surprise to her more people are doing their shopping online.
McCoy says, "It's large for Cyber Monday, because the whole world can shop on the internet, and we do sell a lot all across the place. We sold an in-ground flag pole on Cyber Monday today for a company in North Carolina."
IBM reports online sales today are up just over 24 percent compared to the same time last year.
