Black Friday sales are the biggest event on the shopping calendar and Black Friday 2024 is almost here.
Officially Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, which means this year in New Zealand, it’s November 29. But don’t be fooled by the name. Black Fridayis no longer a one-day event - many retailers have already started Black Friday sales or have their own sales running.
The Black Friday sales are perfectly timed to get Christmas shopping done early or to pick up a big ticket item for your home at a heavily discounted price.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is an annual shopping event that started in the United States as an in-store event and has now expanded across the world into a multi-day sales event, giving shoppers the chance to snag amazing bargains on a wide range of products.
Black Friday in New Zealand will be on Friday, November 29, 2024. But many retailers and brands are already offering early Black Friday deals and other great sales and discounts.
Leading activewear brand Stax has started its Black Friday sale early with up to 70% off sitewide, and Aussie homewares brand Eva is offering free covers worth $755 with their super stylish Slideaway Sofa bed.
It all started back in the United States, way back in the 1950s. People were so excited about the holiday shopping season that they’d flood the stores on the day after Thanksgiving. The traffic was so bad, they called it “Black Friday.”
Fast forward to today, and Black Friday has become a global phenomenon. Retailers around the world offer massive discounts, and shoppers from all corners of the globe flock to stores and websites to snag the best deals.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday in New Zealand is set to hit on Monday, December 2nd, 2024. As usual, it’ll follow the Black Friday shopping frenzy.
