History

Historical Context

In 2005, Black Friday sales surged to $10.1 billion, reflecting a shift in consumer behavior as retailers like Walmart and Best Buy adopted aggressive discounting strategies. This trend paved the way for Cyber Monday, a term coined the same year, which encouraged online shopping and has since become a significant part of the holiday retail landscape, influencing consumer expectations and shopping patterns.
