But how did Black Friday become the shopping event we know today? Let’s dive into the fascinating history of Black Friday, from its unexpected beginnings to its transformation into a global shopping holiday that kicks off the holiday season—and how we’re celebrating it with incredible offers!
How Black Friday Started
Black Friday didn’t always mean deals and discounts. The term originated in the 19th century and actually described a financial crisis in 1869, when two Wall Street financiers attempted to manipulate the gold market. Their scheme failed, triggering a market collapse that became known as "Black Friday." But it wasn’t until much later that the term took on a new meaning, one that would eventually change the world of shopping.
The Philadelphia Connection
In the 1950s, police in Philadelphia began using the term "Black Friday" to describe the chaotic Friday after Thanksgiving. People flooded into the city ahead of the annual Army-Navy football game, causing traffic jams, crowded streets, and a surge in shoplifting incidents. For the city's police officers, it was a challenging day, hence the name "Black Friday."
"Black Friday" Turns Profitable
By the 1980s, retailers had transformed the concept of Black Friday into something positive. Businesses began to reframe it as the day when stores "went into the black," meaning they finally turned a profit after months of operating at a loss. This new story quickly caught on, and retailers around the U.S. started promoting Black Friday as the biggest shopping day of the year, offering deep discounts to kick off the holiday season.
Black Friday Becomes a Shopping Tradition
From early store openings to exclusive “doorbuster” deals, Black Friday turned into an annual shopping phenomenon by the 1990s. It became a day of massive discounts that shoppers couldn’t resist. Now, with online stores like Electronics Guru, you can enjoy the best Black Friday deals without battling crowds, all while shopping for high-tech gadgets and must-have electronics right from home!
