What is Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday?


Black Friday
Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving in the United States, which occurs on the fourth Thursday of November. It marks the start of the holiday shopping season, and retailers offer massive discounts on various products. It's one of the busiest shopping days of the year, with people flocking to stores early in the morning to take advantage of the deals. In recent years, many retailers also offer online sales, making it accessible to a broader audience. The term "Black Friday" originates from the idea that this is when businesses move from being "in the red" (losing money) to "in the black" (profitable) due to the boost in sales.

Small Business Saturday
The day after Black Friday is Small Business Saturday. This shopping holiday was created to encourage people to support local businesses and shop small. It highlights the importance of supporting local shops and artisans, which helps boost the economy and creates a sense of community. Many small businesses offer promotions or special deals to attract customers on this day.

Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving, is a day dedicated to online shopping. It was created to promote e-commerce and online retail sales, as more people were beginning to shop from home rather than braving the crowds in stores. Retailers offer special deals and discounts, particularly on electronics, fashion, and gadgets. Cyber Monday has become one of the biggest online shopping days, and it continues to grow in popularity as e-commerce expands.
