All online and brick-and-mortar shops catering to the US consumer base attract potential customers with tempting offers for everything they would need for the upcoming holidays.<\/p><p>But did you know that the concept of Black Friday and Cyber Monday has spread to other regions, too? These celebrations and the resultant retail boom also occur in China, Canada, France, and the UK.<\/p><p>Before discussing how different regions celebrate these days, let\u2019s take a quick look at how it all started.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffb9e15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ffb9e15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Brief History of Black Friday & Cyber Monday<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc25909 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc25909\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are a lot of theories about how the term Black Friday came to represent the biggest sale event of the year. One theory says that when people first used the term Black Friday, it referred to a financial crisis. Back in the 1860s, Wall Street business people Jim Fisk and Jay Gould invested a ridiculously massive amount of gold in the hope that they\u2019d make a significant profit after selling it. However, the gold market crashed, and all financiers on Wall Street had to pay the price. This day came to be known as Black Friday.<\/p><p>The second theory says that bookkeepers of all shops in the US followed the method of listing all losses in red and all profits in black. As the day after Thanksgiving saw crowds thronging shops for holiday shopping, business owners reported profits and were finally out of the red. And so it became a norm to call it Black Friday.<\/p><p>The shopping madness that followed every Thanksgiving Day called for extra security, and the police worked extra hours to handle the crowds. Hence, the third theory says that they started referring to this day as Black Friday, and the term just caught on.<\/p><p>After the eCommerce boom, this shopping fervour extended to Monday. Shop.org \u2013 a department operating under the National Retail Federation \u2013 coined the term Cyber Monday to help retailers market their products online. Those who couldn\u2019t find good deals in brick-and-mortar shops would buy those products online.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e86c94f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4e86c94f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/black-friday-50-1024x710.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2581\" alt=\"eCommerce shopping days in the world\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/black-friday-50-1024x710.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/black-friday-50-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/black-friday-50-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/black-friday-50.jpg 1482w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60b6b3bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"60b6b3bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Black Friday & Cyber Monday in the UK<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f401975 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f401975\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Encouraged by the success of retail outlets and online shops on Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the US, Amazon introduced exclusive deals in the UK in 2010.

Since then, these days see huge crowds shopping in different parts of the UK.<\/p><p>Last year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday online sales surpassed offline sales in the UK.

Hence, retail brands go all out during Diwali with sales that go on for 24 hours or more. Amazon holds its \u2018Great Indian Festival,\u2019 and Walmart-owned Flipkart holds its \u2018Big Billion Days\u2019 during Diwali.<\/p><p>The festive season in India usually starts right from August and goes on till November, just when the wedding season kicks in. The festival of Dhanteras, when Indians consider it auspicious to buy gold and indulge in gold shopping, precedes Diwali. Since Indians spend a significant amount of money starting from Eid up until Diwali, Black Friday deals lose their value.\u00a0<\/p><p>While some eCommerce brands have been trying to push Black Friday sales in India, it is primarily seen as an American trend that isn\u2019t relevant to any Indian festivities.
