Easypay and Daraz.pk Bring you Black Friday: The Biggest Sales Event of the Year

On the last Friday of every November, millions of people around the globe prep up for the biggest sales event of the year, Black Friday. The Black Friday sales concept was invented in the US in 1924, by Macy’s, during their Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Black Friday name was coined in Philadelphia in the 1960s, where it was originally used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic that would occur on the great sales day.

Realizing a great opportunity for both, retailers and consumers other stores quickly caught up and by the 1990’s, not only did Black Friday become an unofficial retail holiday but also a worldwide sensation. The UK and Canada were relatively late in joining the Black Friday frenzy; however, it didn’t take too long before the glorious discount day became the busiest sales day of the year there as well. Over the past few years, with more and more countries jumping on the bandwagon, the sales concept has proven itself to be a worldwide phenomenon.

With over US$50 billion in sales in 2014, Black Friday has also accelerated online e-commerce and the associated changes in shopping habits. E-commerce has now become the preferred method for Black Friday sales as more and more online retailers are realizing the opportunity it brings. Last year’s record-setting online sales have given ecommerce players a glimpse into the future and Black Friday could not have come to Pakistan at a better time considering the increased penetration of smartphones, internet usage and payment methods in the country.
