What is the origin of Black Friday in the United States?

What is Black Friday? Americans traditionally use different colors of ink for bookkeeping. Among them, red ink means loss and black ink means profit. After Thanksgiving, the demand for various commodities has increased sharply, and merchants hope to make a lot of money, and there is a black ink on the accounts, so it is not difficult to understand why Westerners call such a day of shopping spree “BlackFriday” (#BlackFriday)”.

There are many theories about the origin of “Black Friday”, one of which refers to a crowd of people who go to the mall to shop in long queues on the Friday after #Thanksgiving. A more common view is that since this day is the first day after Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November), the traditional and grand #Christmas in the United States will follow, and people usually start Christmas shopping from this day. Many stores will have customers surging their doors and make large sums of money. Traditionally, different colors of ink are used for bookkeeping. Red means loss or deficit, and black means profit. So this Friday is called Black Friday to indicate that there will be profits on this day.

Another way of saying this is that the discounts in stores usually start at midnight (that is, midnight on Friday) when Thanksgiving ends, and the day after Thanksgiving, people who want to buy bargains must rush to the mall and line up to buy them. Bargains, this can also be regarded as a source oAnother way of saying this is that the #discounts in stores usually start at midnight (that is, midnight on Friday) when Thanksgiving ends, and the day after Thanksgiving, people who want to buy bargains must rush to the mall and line up to buy them. Bargains, this can also be regarded as a source of “Black Friday”.

What does Black Friday mean?

The term “Black Friday” originated in Philadelphia, the United States. It was originally used to describe the bad road conditions on the second day after the Thanksgiving carnival, because after Thanksgiving, there will be people and vehicles on the street who are unsure or going out on vacation. People and vehicles will cause serious traffic jams on the day. Calling the big traffic jam after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” began at least before 1961, and it spread from Philadelphia to the entire United States around 1975. It was only later replaced by the current version: For merchants, “Black Friday” represents a node from which merchants will usher in substantial profits.

Unlike China’s “Double 11” shopping festival which originated from an online culture such as “Singles Day”, traditional festivals in Western countries are always connected with business opportunities. In the Commonwealth countries, on the second day after Christmas, merchants offered discounts and people rushed to buy. In the United States, smart businessmen choose to open their doors early on the second day after Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Friday of November (this year is November 27).

In addition, some US news media reported that “Black Friday” has become the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States since 2005. But this statement is not accurate, because in the eyes of locals, for a long time before, “Black Friday” has become the busiest and craziest shopping day of the year. Whether it is offline physical stores or online merchants, the discounts during the Black Friday promotion period are very strong. If locals choose to go to physical stores to snap up their favorite products, it is normal to queue for a few hours, and some people even bring tents to the queue the night before
