What is the origin of Black Friday?
A little trip back in time, on the other side of the Atlantic… It is indeed in the United States that Black Friday was born.
It was in the 1930s that the commercial festival had its origins, only a few years after the Great Depression of 1929. Traders found a way to bring people back to the stores: to offer reduced prices the day after the festival. Thanksgiving.
A way of changing the accounts from negative (red) to positive (black), hence the name Black Friday which is translated as “Black Friday”.
Over the decades, Black Friday has become essential and has crossed borders.
Due to its proximity to the holiday season, Black Friday is one of the last promotional operations of the year that allows you to give gifts without breaking the bank, taking advantage of immediate and often significant discounts on popular products. and major brands.
Hundreds of e-commerce sites participate, and tens of thousands of items are dropping in price across all departments.
So many good reasons not to miss the opportunity to do very good business during Black Friday, even in France.
Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday in France
For many online sales platforms, a single day is not enough to deliver all the promotions they have in stock for their customers.
This is why some of them display discounts from the Monday before Black Friday, and throughout the week until Friday: this practice is called Black Week.
We should therefore expect to see good deals put online from Monday 23 November at many e-merchants ... and sometimes even earlier in some cases!
Black Friday takes place on the Internet and also in stores: this observation has led online sales sites to seek a way to go even further.
So they created Cyber Monday a few years ago, a global business event too, which takes place the Monday after Black Friday.
This operation takes place only on the Web, and it allows e-commerce sites to finish selling off their stock of promotions.
This year Cyber Monday will take place on Monday, November 30.
