Each year, thousands of people across America from the camp at night, hoping to get at the forefront of Black Friday. But like so many shops and merchants ready for Black Friday 2011, some people wonder if the Cyber Monday and online shopping means that Black Friday could soon be a thing of the past.
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the season in the United States, Christmas shopping. Shops traditionally celebrated with great promotions and giveaways, and the outcry is so great that people actually died in the stampede in previous years. Never mind that many businesses are broke within seconds, Black Friday has become an institution for many, and some of the rumors leading up to Christmas.
Black Friday will eventually be canceled?
In recent years, although many people started to ignore Black Friday and wait instead for Cyber Monday. An alternative to the online Black Friday, Cyber Monday is almost as popular, and many people brave overload the server trying to connect to the sites to catch the best deals. Who needs to camp outside a store two days where you just get up early and go online to get a good deal?
For some, the social aspect of Black Friday, which is the most important. Friendships are born (and sometimes die) in the queue, even if these friendships tend to disappear when the security guard was spotted heading over to lock the door. For those who camp for two or three nights out of department stores, would be sitting at home watching a screen really be so satisfying?
Analysts studying closely the figures for this year's Black Friday, if there are signs of downward trend. Black Friday 2011 days is 25 Cyber Monday in November next couple of days later. For some, these events are just one example of rampant commercialization. But others are social events. Black Friday will be another few years?
