Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023: Best deals to cop in Singapore now

They may have started off as an American tradition, but as we all know, the urge for a good deal is not confined by geographical borders. Here are some of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale promotions you should keep a look out for in techwalet.com Singapore this 2023.

The colour black has traditionally been associated with maleficence and malevolence, often heralding bad luck and tragedy. But it wouldn’t be until the early 1960s, that its connotation would assume a more celebratory one in the United States. As explained by Encyclopedia Britannica, it was around this period when police officers in Philadelphia and Rochester would often off-handedly use the terms ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Black Saturday’ to refer to the traffic congestion and crowds witnessed in both cities after Thanksgiving, which usually signals the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.

Similarly, the phrase was also used in reference to how retailers, who often made losses between January to November, would begin to turn a profit come the holiday season. Given how it was common practice to use red ink to indicate losses in accounting and black ink to indicate profit, the phrase and practice of ‘Black Friday’ quickly caught on among business owners, who were quick to capitalise on the festive mood by offering lucrative discounts during the period.

Similarly, Cyber Monday, which is typically held on the first Monday after Thanksgiving, was also conceived from the same premise but was more specifically geared toward online shopping. Since then, the practice has grown to encompass other parts of the world, with retailers adopting the same practice as their American counterparts. After all, you don’t have to celebrate Thanksgiving to enjoy a really good deal.
