You might have heard the phrase “Black Friday” appearing, especially if you work in online retail.
Black Friday is an ‘Amercian-ism’ which, as the global marketplace gets increasinly smaller, has slowly crept in to the UK over recent years, being promoted by American giants such as Amazon and Apple for example.
It relates to the last Friday of November (so this year on Friday 28th Nov) which is the unoffical start of the Christmas shopping period. It coincides each year as being the day after US Thanksgiving Day.
With regards to the internet, Black Friday (together with Cyber Monday which is the following Monday) is one of the busiest online shopping days of the year, with Amazon, for example, having already been promoting it for some weeks so it will be interesting to see if ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Cyber Monday’ hit record numbers compared to previous years. With more and more people turning to the internet to do their shopping rather than the high street, it is highly probable.
This is why it is so important for companies such as Event Hire UK to make sure that our internet presence is strong.
