Shopping Deals for Holiday Season

Just as we Indians celebrate ‘Dhanteras’ before ‘Diwali’ as our shopping day, in US also people celebrate ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Cyber Monday’ before Christmas as their shopping days.

On Black Friday, people shop from ‘traditional brick and mortar’ stores.

Why is ‘Black Friday’ called ‘Black’?
Until this extremely busy day, retail stores operate ‘in the red’ and on this day they sell lot of merchandise to make a good profit (or be ‘in the black’).

On Cyber Monday, people shop from online stores. In US, internet is much more prevalent, so online retailers also get a special advantage. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. This year Black Friday falls on 28th Nov. and, following it, is Cyber Monday on 1st Dec.

Most of the population shops online while at work and thus they wait for Monday to avoid the crowd of Friday. They prefer ordering items online and because of this many retailers are targeting this day to make extra sales by offering gifts and discounts online.
