Black Friday

Black Friday: A Tapestry of Tradition and Trends

As the amber hues of autumn cascade into the crisp shades of winter, we find ourselves on the cusp of a remarkable retail revolution: Black Friday. This day, steeped in history and buzzing with bargain-filled tales, marks a moment in time when the world unites in the spirit of shopping and splendor.

The Dawn of a Shopping Phenomenon:

The term “Black Friday” emerged from the old, cobblestone streets of Philadelphia in the 1960s, a descriptor for the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic that would occur the day after Thanksgiving. This day set the stage for the spirited shopping season leading up to Christmas, giving retailers a chance to ‘turn the red ink into black’ in their ledgers, symbolizing profit.

Fascinating Facts About Black Friday : 

• The term didn’t spread to the rest of the country until later, but by the late 1980s, “Black Friday” had become synonymous with the shopping extravaganza we know today. 
• Black Friday didn’t become the busiest shopping day in America until 2001, before that, it was the Saturday before Christmas.
• It’s a global affair now, with countries without Thanksgiving celebrations adopting this shopping holiday.
• Did you know that in some years, Black Friday has seen over 100 million shoppers, all eager to snag the best deals?
• Despite the digital age, the thrill of in-store Black Friday shopping has not diminished, with many still preferring the rush of the crowd to the click of a mouse.
