History

Historical Context

The rise of Black Friday sales, which reached $10.1 billion in 2005, marked a pivotal change in consumer behavior, driven by major retailers like Best Buy and Target offering deep discounts. This trend led to the creation of Cyber Monday in the same year, further intensifying competition among retailers and shaping the modern landscape of holiday shopping, a phenomenon that continues to evolve into 2025.
