Black Friday sock madness
Black Friday is closely associated with the United States. It's where the tradition of Black Friday, which falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, began. Retailers quickly discovered that with Thursday off, many Americans take the Friday off to indulge in the shopping frenzy. Black Friday opens the shopping season before Christmas. What can you buy then at a discounted price? Almost everything is not an exaggeration. It is a great opportunity to equip yourself with Christmas gifts, and when we talk about gifts, it is impossible not to mention Christmas socks. Our store is also taking part in Black Friday, so you can stock up on real sock gems. Elegant suit socks or maybe crazy unmatched socks? You will find something for a person of every taste. This is also a good moment to take care of yourself. We don't buy gifts for ourselves often enough, but everyone deserves a bit of pampering. If you are one of those people, who like to be prepared for Christmas, and find Christmas shopping a nightmare, we recommend getting yourself a set of socks. Such a gift will surely make a loved one happy. The Monday after Black Friday is known as Cyber Monday. By definition, Friday's promotions involve stationary stores, while Monday's price cuts involve online stores. However, in the current climate, Black Friday has especially moved online, with many companies choosing to introduce promotions that last all weekend.
Where did Black Friday come from?
Black Friday originated in the United States, but there is more doubt about the origin of the name itself. There are a few of the most popular theories here, and each has its staunch supporters. One theory dates back to 1981, when the term Black Friday was used in the media to name a day when retailers made a lot of money. In the ledgers, revenue was recorded in black ink, while losses were recorded in red ink. Black predominated in the accounts that day. Another theory is that the origins of Black Friday can be traced as far back as 1868, when the price of gold fell in the U.S. by as much as 20%. Some believe that the name is related to the traffic jams which are one of the characteristic elements of this day. What is certain is that more than 100 million Americans shop on Black Friday and each of them spends on average $400. Currently Black Friday is quite popular in Europe as well. Some people wait for this day even a few months. The real shopping frenzy ends with extraordinary loot.
