What is Black Friday and why is it called that?
Black Friday is a holiday originating in the United States and falls on the Friday following Thanksgiving Day , which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. This day traditionally marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
The meaning of Black Friday
But why is it called Black Friday? The origin of the name is still debated, but one of the most widely accepted and positive explanations is linked to retailers' accounting. In the past, losses were recorded "in the red" in the accounting records, while profits were recorded "in the black." The massive increase in sales on this day allowed retailers to return to the black (i.e., profitable), giving Friday the name "Black Friday." Here's what Black Friday means and why it's called Black Friday.
How long does Black Friday last and when do the discounts begin?
Don't let the name fool you! While the word "Friday" suggests a single day, Black Friday has now become an event that extends far beyond the traditional 24 hours.
-
The Official Day : Black Friday is and remains Friday.
-
Black Week : Especially online, promotions often start early, giving rise to "Black Week," a full week of discounts leading up to Friday itself. This is when Black Friday sales begin.
-
The Weekend and Cyber Monday : Deals often continue throughout the weekend, until the following Monday, known as Cyber Monday . This day is traditionally dedicated exclusively to discounts on technology and electronics, and is the day Black Friday effectively ends.
