Black Friday offers will start in a few days, but the game industry is already prepared with offers and discounts.
The Black Friday 2019 will take place this November 29, the last Friday of this month. However, most large businesses have adopted a model much closer to the American, where the first week they begin to see the first promotions and offers in all their departments. Black Friday has already begun.
What is the origin of Black Friday?
Black Friday (Black Friday, in Spanish), is an American tradition based on the consumption of discounted products; such as the sales periods to which we are accustomed in Spain or the old “day without VAT”, with the difference that at the beginning this other celebration was much more aggressive in its discounts.
As they say, the denomination of Black Friday originates in 1975, when businesses began to change the numbers from red to black for a resounding chaos produced in the Big Apple on November 19, 1975 for the discounts that were taking place.
Not surprisingly, Black Friday day changed to Friday, November 29 to coincide with exactly the day after Thanksgiving (the last Friday of November, therefore).
Black Friday in Spain, how long does it last?
In Spain, Black Friday does not last only 24 hours; In fact, that day does not end but it has as a "dessert" the so-called Cyber Monday, the Monday immediately after, where there are also discounts especially focused on the technology and consumer electronics sector. In some countries Cyber Monday is stronger than Black Friday.
This year Black Friday offers on portals such as Amazon starts this November 25 and will end on November 29 with new discounts every day; Some promotions will be daily, others until the stock is finished and, finally, others will last all week. As we say, on Monday, November 2 there will also be special promotions for Cyber Monday.
