CYBER Monday sales growth is slowing as consumers embrace the convenience of online shopping, spreading out their purchases instead of being lured by one-day specials.

That compares with online sales growth of 17.5 per cent posted on the same day a year earlier, according to International Business Machines Corp (IBM).
