When merchants started to spread the red-to-black profit narrative, it became a striking moment. As the first day after the last major holiday before Christmas, it marks the unofficial beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States since at least 2005.

Term Black Friday:

The term “Black Friday” was coined in the 1960s to mark the kickoff of the Christmas shopping season. “Black” refers to stores moving from the “red” to the “black.” Back to the time when accounting records were kept by hand, the red ink indicated a loss, and the black one suggested a profit.

History:

The term Black Friday began to get wider exposure around 1975, as shown by two newspaper articles. The first reference is in an article entitled Army vs. Navy: A Dimming Splendor, in the New York Times. Philadelphia police and bus drivers call it, Black Friday. It is the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year.

For millions of people, Black Friday is the time to do some serious Christmas shopping. Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving, and it’s one of the major shopping days of the year in the United States falling anywhere between November 23 and 29. It has been known as the unofficial start to a bustling holiday shopping season.

Shopping Madness:

Black Friday is a long day, with many retailers opening up at 5 am or even earlier to hordes of people waiting anxiously outside the windows. Most of the large retailers post their Black Friday ad scans, coupons and offer online beforehand to give consumers time to find out about sales and plan their purchases.

People stand in line hours before stores are opened to grab the bargain of the year. Nowadays most Black Friday sales go online. It has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Most major retailers offer promotional sales.
