black-friday

On the last Friday of every November, millions of people around the globe prep up for the best sales event of the year; wallets in hand and sanity out the window – it’s Black Friday, the day you can make all your shopping dreams, that otherwise seem unattainable, come true.

Evolution of Black Friday Sales Concept

The Black Friday sales concept was initiated by American multinational Macy’s, during their Thanksgiving Day Parade. In the 1960s, the sales day was officially given the name Black Friday which stuck and spread.


Realising what a great opportunity this is – for both, retailers and consumers – other stores quickly caught up and by the 1990’s, not only did Black Friday turned into a nationwide sensation.

The UK and Canada were relatively late in joining the Black Friday frenzy; however, it didn’t take too long before the glorious discounts day became the busiest sales day of the year there as well.

Over the past few years, the concept has proven itself to be a worldwide phenomenon.

Black Friday has accelerated the online shopping revolution and changes in shopping habits.

 

E-commerce has now become the most sought for the way of acquiring Black Friday deals because of its trouble-free nature. No crowds, no queues and delivery at your doorstep with just a few clicks.
