Born in the United States more than thirty years ago, the Black Friday is now a global tradition, which has also conquered theItaly.
Millions of users flock to sites like Amazon, MediaWorld, Unieuro but not only, to try to grab the latest smartphones, computers, hi-tech devices, appliances, video games etc. at a reduced price.
If you are also anxiously waiting for it but you don’t know when is Black Friday, how long does it last this year, when the offers start and how they work, here are all the useful things to know.
When is Black Friday 2021?
The date to be circled on the calendar is November 26, 2021. As usual, Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which this year falls on Thursday 25 November. Closely linked to this holiday, the date of Black Friday can therefore change every year: in 2020 it was held on Friday 27 November, while in 2019 it was the 29.
The tradition comes from the sixties where Black Friday meant the day when American shopkeepers went to favor shopping and shopping about a month before Christmas, offering discounts that could reach up to 80% (thus going to grant a huge savings margin for those wishing to anticipate gifts at a great price).
Where does this particular name come from? Many refer to the account book that was used by traders at the time, compiled using black ink for all positive and active accounts. Very often due to the Friday after Thanksgiving these accounts went black thus explaining the name and origin of the discounts.
Another theory instead has it that the name Black Friday derives from the traffic due to the multitude of people who flock to the streets and shops in search of discounts and offers valid only for the day.
When Black Friday starts
In theory, if we are to be precise, Black Friday 2021 starts at midnight on Friday 27 November and ends at 11.59 pm on the same day. In reality, however, even if we talk about Black Friday as a day of offers, it is such an important anniversary for companies that the offers start from Monday (if not before), to conclude after the weekend with the Cyber Monday, which this year will be the 29 november.
This is the case ofAmazon Black Friday, which starts earlier than the date of Black Friday, and lasts until the following Monday. For this we speak of Black Week: Amazon has not yet announced the dates of Black Friday 2021, but we can expect the offers on the portal to start from Monday 22 November, to end at 24.00 on Monday 29 November.
