The origins of Black Friday
The Black Friday It has its origins in the United States in the 20th century. The term was coined in the 1960s to refer to the chaos caused by traffic and crowds shopping the day after Thanksgiving. However, the practice of offering discounts after Thanksgiving dates back to the 1930s. With this tradition, retailers tried to boost sales before the Christmas season.
Over the years, Black Friday has become a major shopping event that has even spread to other countries. Today is one of the most hectic and anticipated shopping days of the year, thanks also to the strong boost from e-commerce and Amazon in particular.
