What is Black Friday? Why is he famous ?

North American retailers came up with the idea of ​​creating a day that would go against the ideals of Thanksgiving and replace the tradition of thanking family and friends with a shopping spree that of course went international.

It is believed that the name “Black Friday” was borrowed from the name by which it was known on the Friday after Thanksgiving in Philadelphia, where there was very heavy traffic of people and vehicles.

When Black Friday became popular, the typical images of queues and crowded stores that we already associated with the start of the sales were common. However, people now prefer to do it online from the comfort of their homes.

Such is the success of this festival that Cyber ​​Monday is also celebrated, which always falls on the Monday of the following week. At PCWorld Europe we have also dedicated an article to the best Cyber ​​Monday offers.

How to take advantage of the best Black Friday offers?

Technology products are of great importance during Black Friday. Not only because many people shop from a computer or smartphonebut because many others take advantage of this day to acquire this device that they have wanted for a long time.

Amazon is one of the best sites for deals on “Black Friday” and often starts a few days before. The best discounts are usually found on their own products, such as tablets Fire or Kindle readers.

It is also advisable to check out other lesser-known online electronics stores, as not only do they offer products of equal quality, but you may even find even more irresistible deals. This is the case of Zococity in Europe, a company specializing in sound products.

tip 3. We suggest you think carefully if you really need this offered product. If otherwise you wouldn’t buy it for all the gold in the world, it might not be so necessary and you won’t really save any money, but rather waste it.

Tip 4. Before taking advantage of a sale, check the promotions offered by other competing stores on the same product to ensure that you are getting the best discount.

It is therefore advisable to check individually the conditions that each store puts on these days. You don’t want to buy something, you want to return it and you can’t. Similarly, it can become more complicated to obtain a refund when purchasing on line.
