Cyber Monday is a commercial phenomenon starting in 2005, while the first black Friday dates back to the 1950s in Philadelphia.

Since the early 50s, Black Friday, one day after Thanksgiving, has been a tradition since then. It's the day when retailers launch huge discounts to attract more customers. It has changed from "one-day-deals" to a month of special offers during the last half-century.

Strategically Black Friday is a perfect day for all retailers to initiate the Christmas sale. As the world is becoming more digital, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are excellent opportunities for foreign companies to grab the "piece of the cake" of the vast U.S. market.

Black Friday 2022 will be on the 25th of November. Last year, the typical Black Friday offers started on Thanksgiving and continued into Cyber Monday, which always happens on the Monday immediately after Black Friday.
