How was Black Friday born?

The origins of Black Friday date back to the city of Philadelphia in the 1960s. The expression was initially adopted by the Traffic Police as a way to refer to the mobility chaos that occurred due to the congestion of vehicles and Pedestrians during the day after ‘Thanksgiving’ .

This is because at that time a large number of people took to the streets to start doing their Christmas shopping. This situation caused serious traffic jams and large crowds of people.

Although the term emerged as a way to refer to a negative situation, caused by traffic and influx of buyers, many merchants saw an opportunity to change its meaning to give it a positive connotation .

By the 1980s, merchants began to use the expression Black Friday to refer to the day when their financial balances went from being “in the red” (losses due to low sales) to being “in the black” (profit flow).

The change in perspective caused Black Friday to become a key day to purchase products or services at a good price , just before the Christmas shopping season or mid-year. Subsequently, Black Friday became an event celebrated in different parts of the world, where shoppers expect to find various discounts and special offers.
