When is the next Black Friday: The next Black Friday is scheduled for November 29th, 2024, which is the first Friday after Thanksgiving.
Black Friday is perhaps the best day of the year to do your Christmas shopping, as you can access incredible bargains both online and in-store. Read on to learn more about Black Friday and discover the savings you can access via Laifen’s 2024 Black Friday Sale.
Why is it called Black Friday?
There are a few potential reasons why this shopping festival has such a name. The first is that many people historically believed that retailers were in the red until Thanksgiving, and the Friday after through to Christmas was their chance to return to ‘the black.’
However, this theory is unfounded and not likely the real reason for the name of the shopping season.
More likely is the fact that during the 1960s, the streets of Philadelphia became overcrowded with shoppers in the immediate aftermath of Thanksgiving.
It was the Philadelphia Police Force that named this day ‘Black Friday,’ due to the chaos on the streets as people shopped and attended sporting events.
In the years after, retailers capitalized on this description and offered sales specials in Philadelphia, which became known as the ‘Black Friday Sales.’ America hasn’t looked back ever since!
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday always falls on the first Friday after Thanksgiving. In 2024, it will happen on November 29th, which is the day that most retailers will slash their prices and offer great savings before the Christmas rush.
Note that Black Friday is also followed by Cyber Monday, which is the day on which most online retailers participate in the sales frenzy at this time of the year. In 2024, Cyber Monday is scheduled for December 2nd, which is the Monday following Black Friday.
Therefore, if you want to treat yourself to some post-Thanksgivings savings or would like to lock in unbeatable prices ahead of the Christmas holidays, make sure you put both of these dates in your diary!
Cyber Monday vs. Black Friday: What’s the difference?
Black Friday has a much longer history than Cyber Monday and is the better known of the two days. In fact, Black Friday can be traced all the way back to 1869, when financier Jay Gould and James Fisk tried to corner the gold market.
Still, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the modern interpretation of Black Friday became apparent in the United States, with major retailers like Macy’s offering incredible seasonal deals in the lead up to Christmas.
In contrast, Cyber Monday was first launched in 2005 as a way for online retailers to offer bargains to their customers at the same time of the year.
Given that many retailers today offer in-store and online options to shoppers, the result is a long weekend of savings, beginning on Black Friday and ending on Cyber Monday. Still, every retailer is different, so you should check when the best deals are available and what you need to do to access special offers after Thanksgiving.
When is the Black Friday sale?
Most Black Friday sales begin in the early morning of November 29th, 2024, but some retailers look to get ahead with extended sales periods that may even begin before Thanksgiving.
In contrast, other retailers are strict with their Black Friday window of opportunity, offering significant reductions for 24 hours only. As mentioned above, some retailers extend their Black Friday sales over the weekend and into Cyber Monday, so it really just depends on which retailer is offering a promotion.
Our advice is to check the terms of the retailer’s Black Friday sale to find out when it begins and when it ends. This will save you from the disappointment of missing out!
When is Black Friday over?
Technically, Black Friday is over on Saturday, 30th November, 2024 at 00.01. However, as we have mentioned throughout, there are different rules at different retail outlets.
Black Friday was historically just one day of post-Thanksgiving sales, but as online shopping has become more pronounced, retailers have increased the window of opportunity for people to purchase goods at significantly reduced prices.
