How to take advantage of Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) to feel nostalgic for Brazil

We have reached the month of November, and with it comes one of the most awaited dates by retailers and consumers alike: the famous Black Friday. The date brings benefits that often extend throughout the month. Thus, customers can take advantage and guarantee that much-awaited and desired item - with the discount that everyone likes - before the year ends.

Have you ever wondered where Black Friday came from and how exactly it works? In today's article we tell you all about it. To top it all off, we show you what Hi Brazil's Black Friday has in store for you, the Brazilian customer spread all over the US and the rest of the world who misses what comes from home. Let's get to it!

What is Black Friday, anyway?

Black Friday is the name adopted by the market for the discount season that occurs during the month of November. Having been used subsequently by several countries in the world, it started in the USA and its main day is the one that comes right after the American Thanksgiving holiday.

Since its inception, Black Friday has been considered one of the best times for retailers' revenues and consumers' savings. It is advantageous for attracting more customers and making more sales, and for the consumer, who often literally rushes to the stores to secure merchandise at heavily discounted prices before the rush to Christmas and other year-end festivities.

Especially on the day of Black Friday itself, with the possibility of making more profit than perhaps during the rest of the year, many stores even open hours in advance to attract more customers. In turn, those who arrive to do the shopping sometimes get lower prices than in the Christmas promotions.

In Brazil, the first Black Friday event took place in 2010, entirely online through the e-commerce of 50 major retailers, and hit its sales record in 2013, with a turnover of about R$ 770 million reais only considering internet sales.

Among the most sought-after products with the most discounts are televisions and cell phones, and in view of a gain of R$ 1.2 billion reais generated on Black Friday 2014, the consultancy E-Bit began to officially consider it as one of the most profitable promotion seasons for the Brazilian market.

More discounts with Cyber Monday

Still in the wave of discounts promoted by Black Friday, there is also Cyber Monday (Cyber Monday, in English), in which promotions and greatly reduced prices are especially directed to products sold via e-commerce. Cyber Monday takes place on the Monday after Thanksgiving and was created as a marketing strategy in 2005.

As it happens in the United States, the discounts offered by Brazilian e-commerce retailers reach 80%. Sales in Brazil are greatly boosted by the proximity of the end-of-year festivities and the payment of the 13th salary. On both Black Friday and Cyber Monday, consumers living in Brazil are protected against price fraud by rules created by the Câmara e-net and by agencies such as Procon.
