What is Black Friday?
So why is it called Black Friday? We shop 'till we drop, but many don’t know why. While most of us use it to describe the shopping frenzy that ensues, it actually dates back to the US in 1924 when bookkeepers used the term “in the black” to describe major profit increases as opposed to being “in the red.” No longer just an American day, this commercial tradition is becoming more global each year with popularity exploding in countries like the United Kingdom and Australia. In the past, it was a primarily in-store event but has gone mostly digital in recent years. This means tons of promotions and price drops to keep an eye out for on-screen and off! But where to start? Right here of course! Consider this your guide to the biggest shopping event of the year.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Always falling on the day after Thanksgiving (November 29th this year), it has even become a week-long event in many countries, with Cyber Monday falling on December 2nd.
