And VOVK made a real surprise for you – we have already started Black Friday, so we advise you to hurry up, the discounts are worth it!
But what is this day and why does it take place at this time of the year? Let’s figure it out.
WHAT IS BLACK FRIDAY?
Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, with countless stores having promotions, putting up “sale” signs to please shoppers and making their bank accounts cry at the same time. Do you remember the crazy footage of people running around the store in a panic trying to grab all the best and more? Yes? This is it – a Black Friday!
A LITTLE HISTORY
The day of big discounts and sales seems to come from the USA. Black Friday was a stock market disaster that occurred on September 24, 1869. On that day, after a period of rampant speculation, the price of gold plummeted, and the stock market collapsed significantly.
A modern explanation of this day is somewhat different. The origins of Black Friday lie in the celebration of the day after Thanksgiving, when companies gave their employees long days off. This usually marked the beginning of the period of Catholic Christmas, Christmas discounts, promotions and holiday shopping.
But since then, Black Friday has gone beyond the borders of the United States and has become a global shopping phenomenon.
WHY IS FRIDAY BLACK?
This event acquired such a shade due to the excitement and demand of buyers during the sales period. During the existence of this phenomenon, quarrels, fights and even deaths were recorded.
IS THE REPUTATION OF “BLACK FRIDAY” JUSTIFIED?
The bottom line is that Black Friday gives shoppers the opportunity to find expensive items at discounts and low prices. Whether you’re a shopaholic or not, you can’t deny the attractiveness of this kind of sale. In some stores, “sale” can range from 20% to 70%.
That is why the popularity of Black Friday is growing every year, and the interest in it is getting higher.
HOW DOES BLACK FRIDAY WORK?
Black Friday sales are held both in stores and online. By the way, over the past few years, the duration of sales and discounts has increased markedly. If you’re the kind of shopper who prefers to shop in pajamas while holding your favorite drink, rest assured that you’ll still have access to all the best deals and promotions from the comfort of your own web browser.
Although the period of sales has increased, it is still recommended to come to shopping on Black Friday early in the morning to buy discounted goods you need in the right quantity and size.
Therefore, go for it, because Black Friday at VOVK is already in full swing! Hurry up to buy what you want at very attractive prices.
