HOW DID THE TRADITION OF BLACK FRIDAY COME ABOUT?
The term “Black Friday” was first used in the 1960s in Philadelphia, United States.
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, there is traffic and crowds in the city as the shopping season begins. Police officers began calling this rush “Black Friday.”
Over time, this expression lost its negative connotation and began to be used to describe the day when the retail industry achieved its highest sales of the year.
In accounting terms, the term “black” means companies have left the “red” period of losses and are profitable. Thus, the phrase “Black Friday” became synonymous with commercial success and was the most profitable time of the year.
With the spread of the Internet in the 1990s, Cyber Monday, also known as the digital sales period, was added to the process. Today, Black Friday is considered the biggest shopping event in November not only in the US but around the world.
