What is Black Friday?

So, what exactly is “Black Friday”? The day originated in the USA, marking the day after Thanksgiving and the commencement of a heavily discounted shopping period. It’s now become a worldwide phenomenon, with huge sales for shoppers ahead of the festive season.

Across industries like fashion, beauty, tech, homeware, and beyond, brands celebrate the commencement of holiday shopping by slashing their prices. Known for its big discounts and unbelievable deals, it attracts many shoppers to the scene.

In line with our digitalising world, brands also offer “Cyber Monday” deals on their digital platforms, the first weekday back. So if you miss the opportunity to head down to the in-person store on the big day, you get another chance to snag your must-haves from the comfort of your home.
