Even as the holiday season draws to a close in India, shoppers can look forward to Amazon’s upcoming Black Friday 2021 sales, which are a great opportunity to tag all kinds of products at significantly discounted prices.
Black Friday is celebrated in the United States one day after Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Friday in November.
This year the holiday falls on November 26 – and although its origins are in the United States, online stores around the world are now celebrating it by offering great discounts on high-end products, ranging from electronics and from household appliances to furniture and home clothing.
These sales are slowly gaining ground in India as well, with a large number of retailers planning exceptional shopping experiences for Black Friday.
So if you’re looking to spruce up your wardrobe, invest in a new pair of headphones, or replace your laptop, this is a great opportunity to add to your cart.
What is Black Friday?
In the United States, Black Friday marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season and has become the busiest shopping day of the year.
The sale was originally a one-day event, but it has evolved into a weekend party that ends with Cyber ​​Monday.
History of Black Friday
The term Black Friday was reportedly first used by Philadelphia Police sometime in the 1950s to refer to the day between Thanksgiving and the Army-Navy match when crowds of shoppers came to town to shop, sparking traffic jam. The police had to work longer to cover the traffic.
However, the use of the term Black Friday dates back to 1869, when two investors spiked the price of gold and caused a massive stock market crash. The stock market fell 20%, bankrupting Wall Street barons and farmers.
Black Friday in India
Since 2010, Western brands have introduced the concept of Black Friday to India by offering lucrative discounts. Since Black Friday follows the holiday season in India, the weekend is another great showcase to shop for furniture, clothes, shoes, and electronics at heavily discounted prices.
Since the country just celebrated Diwali, many retailers have extended the same sale until the end of November.
Where to go shopping?
Amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it’s still safer and more convenient to shop on Amazon’s website, especially as the online retailer prepares to hold a Black Friday sale starting November 22, where products will be available for up to 95 percent off.
