Happy Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
Although originated, well established and celebrated mainly in the United States, Black Friday (along with Cyber Monday and other similar initiatives) has gained worldwide fame and prominence, turning into an international phenomenon and a well known event (for shoppers, mainly) across the globe, and even here, in South Africa.
The event’s raise should be attributed to technological and social-economic changes which have influenced deeply the way we live and shop. These changes have maintained electronic consuming and shopping as a legitimate form of commerce. The abundance of offers and opportunities opened for shoppers nowadays all around the world, has made shopping a lot easier and accessible. In addition it has brought to our doorstep many different possibilities offered globally, while opening our world to different events and offering, improving our shopping experience and capabilities.
In other words, the process in which Black Friday has transformed into an event not to be missed by any shopper is quite understandable considering the nature of the event, which includes mainly shopping, shopping and… More shopping (and with good prices).
Let us all celebrate, here, in South Africa, by doing what we love the most – Shopping!
As Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great opportunities to find great deals, lucrative offers and once-in-a-lifetime (or a year…) catches, don’t let yourselves be left behind, and find your family, friends (or selves) a great deal, some of them we have gathered for you right here.
