BLACK FRIDAY: From Humble Beginnings to a Global Shopping Phenomenon.

Black Friday, a term once synonymous with financial disaster, has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a global shopping extravaganza. Its origins can be traced back to the United States in the 1950s, where it marked the day after Thanksgiving, signalling the start of the Christmas shopping season. Retailers would often offer significant discounts to entice shoppers, leading to chaotic scenes and, in some cases, even physical altercations.

In recent years, Black Friday has made its way across the Atlantic, captivating the hearts (and wallets) of British consumers. While the frenzied shopping experiences of the past may have been less common in the UK, the event has nonetheless gained significant traction. It’s now a well-established part of the retail calendar, with many retailers offering substantial discounts on a wide range of products.

However, the perception of Black Friday has evolved. It’s no longer solely about the thrill of the chase or the fear of missing out. Many consumers now approach Black Friday with a more strategic mindset, carefully considering their needs and budgeting accordingly. It’s become an opportunity to secure great deals on items they’ve been eyeing for a while.
