The Origins of Black Friday
The day afterThanksgiving is globally celebrated as Black Friday. If you are shopaholic, you definitely should circle this day for the amazing deals it has to offer.The term was introduced in the early 1960s by police officers in Philadelphia to narrate the chaos that was created when a huge number of suburban tourists visited the city to begin their holiday shopping and also attended Saturday’s annualArmy-Navy football game.The massive crowds were a headache for the police and they had to work longer hours than usual to manage the shoplifting, traffic jams, accidents and other such unwanted issues. Police marked the day as ‘Black Friday’as it gave them a lot of pain, although it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the retailers. In the late 1980s, merchants started to spread the red-to-black profit narrative. i.e., after an entire year of incurring losses (Suffer in the red), it is now time to earn profits. (Grow in the black).
