Why is Black Friday so Popular?

That time of year is coming up fast. Thanksgiving, when everyone starts buying their turkeys and warm clothes for the winter. This is the perfect time to present Black Friday. Everyone gets excited for warm clothes and snowy days.


Everyone knows what Black Friday is about but they don't know how it started. The first city in the U.S. to begin “ Black Friday” was Philadelphia. It all started when “pedestrians heading to the Army- Navy football game, looking for great deals” ( Black Friday History and Statistics). At a point they tried changing the name to Big Friday, to not make it sound negative. It all started in the 1960s, “ Black” means profit and “ red “ means loss.


As retailers realized that they made more profit out of “ Black Friday ''. Which made it very popular, so they made it a tradition. It's also better than last minute Christmas gifts.


Some bargain-hunters have been known to camp out in line for their favorite stores. Black Friday as you can tell is very important to parents getting discounts on their favorite items. But it's also important for retailers that make their market sales go up.
