History

Historical Context

The Great Depression, triggered by the Wall Street Crash on October 24, 1929, led to a staggering 25% unemployment rate by 1933 and widespread economic despair. This period saw significant changes in consumer behavior, with companies like Apple and Garmin emerging as technology adapted to new demands. Today’s Big Spring Sale reflects a long-standing tradition of discounting electronics to stimulate spending during economic downturns.
