Sejarah Black Friday Dilansir dari laman Black Friday Global , pada awalnya, Black Friday adalah peristiwa satu hari di Amerika Serikat. Namun, selama beberapa tahun terakhir, acara ini telah berkembang menjadi maraton belanja yang berlangsung selama beberapa hari. Kadang-kadang dapat dimulai pada hari Kamis dan berlanjut sampai akhir minggu, atau bahkan bulan. Dalam upaya untuk menarik perhatian konsumen, beberapa toko memulai apa yang disebut presales pada hari Senin. Namun, di sebagian besar negara, puncak minat pembeli turun pada hari yang sama. Di Indonesia, data Google Trends untuk 19-25 November 2018 menunjukkan bahwa dua pertiga dari semua pertanyaan yang terkait dengan penjualan Black Friday dicatat pada hari Jumat sebesar 39,7 persen. Namun demikian, minat pelanggan mulai tumbuh pada hari Rabu dan memudar pada hari Minggu. Kecenderungan ini menjadi ciri khas tidak hanya Indonesia tetapi juga negara lain. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Black-Friday.Global pada tahun 2018 menunjukkan bahwa 36 persen orang Indonesia yang disurvei mengetahui keberlangsungan Black Friday. Namun, tidak semua dari mereka dapat mengingat tanggal yang tepat, yang dapat menjelaskan peningkatan minat secara bertahap dalam acara ini bahkan beberapa minggu sebelum acara tersebut berlangsung. Data Black-Friday.Global internal untuk 2018 di Indonesia menunjukkan peningkatan penjualan 68 persen dibandingkan dengan hari biasa. Angka tinggi seperti itu tidak biasa. Misalnya, di Singapura peningkatannya adalah 511 persen, di Inggris - lebih dari 1,708 persen, dan di Jerman - lebih dari 2,418 persen. Menurut survei, di antara warga Indonesia yang akan mengambil bagian dalam kegilaan Black Friday, 36 persen sudah tahu apa yang harus dibeli. Adapun jumlah barang yang dibeli, orang Indonesia akan membeli rata-rata 3 produk. Statistik tahun lalu menunjukkan bahwa kategori produk paling populer di antara pembeli Black Friday di Indonesia adalah sepatu, pakaian, elektronik, kosmetik dan parfum, serta travel.
KOMPAS.com – Pesta belanja Black Friday jatuh pada hari ini, Jumat, 29 November 2019.
Sejumlah e-commerce di Indonesia turut meramaikan dengan memberikan promo dan diskon bagi pelanggannya.
Di banyak negara, Black Friday , ditunggu-tunggu dan selalu diwarnai antrean panjang.
Bagaimana sebenarnya kisah di balik Black Friday ?
Melansir dari Telegraph, Black Friday awalnya sebetulnya berkaitan dengan krisis keuangan, bukan kegiatan belanja.
Kala itu, Jumat, 24 September 1869, dua pemodal Wall Street, Jim Fisk dan Jay Gould Bersama-sama memborong emas di AS dengan harapan harga mengalami kenaikan.
Selanjutnya, dijual untuk mendapatkan keuntungan besar.
Atas tindakan kedua pengusaha tersebut, harga emas AS jatuh dan membuat banyak orang di Wall Street bangkrut.
Beberapa tahun setelahnya, hari setelah Thanksgiving dikaitkan dengan Black Friday.
Thanksgiving merupakan perayaan tersendiri di AS dan ditetapkan sebagai hari libur.
Warga menggunakan hari tersebut serta hari sesudahnya sekaligus sebagai hari untuk membeli barang-barang terkait kebutuhan Natal.
Saat itu, toko-toko di AS mencatat bahwa keuangan mereka yang awalnya memburuk mulai membaik sepanjang tahun.
Sehari setelah Thanksgiving, mereka menjual barang dagangan dengan harga diskon.
Istilah Black Friday muncul pertama kali dari petugas polisi di Philadelphia.
Ia menghubungkan istilah tersebut setelah munculnya kerumunan besar orang-orang pasca Thanksgiving tahun 1950-an.
Kekacauan pun terjadi, di antaranya kemacetan lalu lintas dan banyaknya aksi pengutilan.
Hal ini membuat petugas polisi sibuk. Mereka tak bisa mengambil cuti kerja dan harus bekerja shift untuk mengendalikan kekacauan karena Black Friday .
Penyebutan fenomena ini menjadi Black Friday muncul di kalangan para petugas polisi.
Saat istilah itu menyebar ke seluruh Philadelphia, para pedagang kurang sepakat dengan penyebutan Black Friday yang mereka anggap berkonotasi negatif.
Mereka kemudian berusaha mengubahnya menjadi istilah Jumat Besar atau Big Friday , namun tak berhasil.
Black Friday lantas mulai dikenal di media cetak setelah iklan yang diterbitkan majalah The American Philatelist tahun 1966.
Akhir 1980-an, istilah tersebut semakin dikenal di kalangan pengecer yang kemudian mengaitkannya dengan penjualan pasca-Thanksgiving.
Saat ini Black Friday menjadi momen belanja terbesar di AS setiap tahun.
Toko-toko memotong harga untuk meningkatkan penjualan dan keuntungan.
Black Friday turut menyebar ke berbagai negara, termasuk di Indonesia.
Di Amerika Serikat, biasanya ritel-ritel akan dipadati pembeli saat Black Friday .
Namun, di Indonesia, Black Friday dikaitkan dengan diskon belanja yang diberikan oleh toko-toko online meskipun beberapa toko offline ada pula yang ikut meramaikan momen ini.
Doorbusters Busted: Shoppers Rethink Black Friday
Enlarge this image toggle caption Charlie Riedel/AP Charlie Riedel/AP
Black Friday isn't what it used to be. Just ask Chris Ott.
He married into a family that never missed the occasion. And let's just say, he really got into it.
After Thanksgiving dinner, they'd peruse Black Friday ads, developing a "really fun strategic plan — pick the store that we were going to wait outside of, we would divide and conquer," says Ott, 42, a cybersecurity engineer and youth pastor in the Denver area.
"It was so extreme for us that we'd be on vacation with family in Florida over Thanksgiving and we would wait outside the Best Buy in Orlando to see what we could get there," he adds with a laugh.
But lately, this family tradition has fizzled out. Stores kept opening earlier, cutting into Thanksgiving dinner. The Internet made it easy to price-check deals that started to seem less worthwhile. Online shopping became convenient.
Last year, "we decided we'd rather just put up Christmas decorations, and didn't even go," Ott says.
It's not just Ott. This year, only 36% of people said they planned to do most of their holiday shopping on Black Friday — down from 51% just three years ago, according to a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
PwC survey, Holiday Outlook 2019
"Black Friday is still a very major event, both for retailers and for shopping. But historically, it's been the major event and now it's just a part of the overall season," says Steve Barr, who leads PwC's consumer markets practice.
Stores have "permanently conditioned" shoppers to expect big discounts on days other than Black Friday, Barr says. Retailers have made up additional shopping holidays like Cyber Monday and Prime Day. They've moved doorbusters back to Thursday and even Wednesday. This year, many started holiday sales in October.
To be clear, Black Friday is still the busiest shopping day of the year. "Our data shows that there's still a massive spike on Black Friday," says Brian Field of ShopperTrak, which tracks in-store foot traffic.
Of course, not everyone who visits a store actually buys something. Still, compared with the rest of the year, Field says, Black Friday also does better at attracting shoppers to stores.

But for the past two years, the number of people joining the tradition has inched lower. And some experts say, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"It's a minor decline," Field says. "And it's probably more than made up for with the shopping that's happening online."
In fact, this year PwC found — for the first time — the majority of people planned to do their holiday shopping online instead of in stores.
PwC survey, Holiday Outlook 2019
Besides, stores have tried for years to make doorbusters a more pleasant experience, to tame the stampedes and the fights over toys and TVs. In the most infamous 2008 incident, some 2,000 riled-up shoppers literally burst through the doors of a Walmart in New York state, trampling a store worker to death.
And if you think about it, the doorbuster culture has stores fighting over shoppers who are mainly there because stuff is cheap — many of whom might not return until the following holiday season, says Peter Fader, professor of marketing at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Now, Fader says, more and more companies are realizing the real value is in loyal shoppers who are there all year, rather than fair-weather shoppers from one weekend in November.
"There's always the chance that we could turn that ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, but it's not that common," he says. "And you'd start to say, 'Whoa, wait a minute, why are we paying people double overtime to be here, to serve these not-so-great customers?' "
The biggest shopping day of the year is here. Even though the build up to Black Friday starts earlier and earlier every year, there's nothing like the day itself, when the best sales and deals are finally unveiled.
Of course, all those sales are hard to sort through, and not everything is worth the time (or money). That's why we've created this guide to the must-shop deals of the day, broken out by category, with brands and retailers listed alphabetically, so you can easily find what you're looking for.
We'll be covering all the sales and deals throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday, so check back for updates. To stay up to date throughout the season, sign up for our twice-weekly email newsletter here.

The only disappointing omissions the lack of a PS4 Pro deal (perhaps it will come for Cyber Monday) and any further TV offers, though this shows Kohl’s current live sales are the real deal right now.

Will Black Friday become a thing of the past?
It depends on who you ask as the unofficial kickoff to the end-of-year shopping frenzy begins in earnest Friday. A new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll looking at how people plan to shop this holiday season revealed a startling insight: most Americans will only buy this weekend if they can grab a sure-fire deal, with millennials preferring Cyber Monday over Black Friday. We spoke with current and former retail store employees and the consensus is this: you can still score doorbuster deals without the chaos of the holiday crowds.

Prefer the in-person Black Friday experience? We have some pointers
If you prefer to visit the stores, you can start by uncovering the right products at the best price on your smartphone or tablet. A handful of shopping apps are designed to sniff out great deals by alerting you to a fire sale on something you’ve had your eye on. Once you've done your homework, get an action plan together. Some retailers are offering limited freebies likecoupon giveaways and free items after mail-in rebate which are expected to go fast. But before you make a major holiday purchase, it's important to ask these four questions. If you don't, you may find yourself making a budget-busting mistake.
Thanksgiving, phase 2: The leftovers
It's time to reheat the Thanksgiving leftovers. Our friends at Grateful have a fool-proof cheat sheet to reheating your favorite dishes so they're as good as the first time around. (Rolls can go in your slow cooker. Who knew?) Grateful also has recipes for new meals made with leftovers, as well as tips on storing leftovers so they don't tragically end up in the trash.
Skip the shopping and hit the theaters ... or couch
One of the biggest holidays of the year deserves good TV and movies to go along with your leftovers. If you're hitting your local theater, "Knives Out" or "Queen & Slim" are good bets of having audiences talking for days. Or you can always catch up on the "Frozen 2" hype and its mad science trivia that's made us scratch our heads. But what if you want to stay inside? That's fine, too. There are plenty of quintessential holiday options available on various streaming platforms.
Travel woes possible: Winter storm isn't over yet
A strong winter storm weakened and moved to the northeast on Thursday. At the same time, a second storm pounded Northern California setting up the likelihood of heavy snow spreading across the northern tier of the country as travelers head home at the end of the weekend."A major winter storm will continue to produce heavy mountain snow and high winds across much of the Western United States through Thanksgiving Day before tracking over the Rockies on Friday," the National Weather Service said. Forecasters warned of the possibility of end-of-holiday travel delays from wet or snow-covered roads and flight delays because of low pressure moving into the East.

Black Friday is officially here.
Many retailers kicked off their big sales on Thanksgiving, and more are rolling out specials Friday, including stores that traditionally keep their doors closed such as Costco, Sam's Club and Apple.
Kohl's and J.C. Penney opened Thanksgiving afternoon and will stay open until late Friday. Other stores, including Best Buy and Target, will close for a few hours before opening Friday morning.
Though stores are likely to be busy, Black Friday probably won't be the busiest shopping day of the year.
Since 2014, Super Saturday, the last Saturday before Christmas, has been the busiest and is expected to maintain that status, according to RetailNext, which analyzes traffic and other metrics at brick and mortar stores.

Consumer groups say the discount day and its cyber Monday counterpart are largely about creating an artificial sense of urgency among shoppers
As black Friday sales sweep across Australia, consumers have been warned to be wary of fake discounts, scams and dodgy overseas sellers – all of which rise during the sale frenzy.
The US-inspired shopping day has established a firm foothold in the local market, across online and traditional retail. But Choice and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission have warned Australians that sales are a prime time for exploitation and illegal conditions such as “no refunds”.
Jonathan Brown from Choice said consumers should remember that black Friday is just branding.
“Whether it’s click frenzy, black Friday or cyber Monday, the sales tricks used to get us to part with our money are really just a twist on classic sales techniques,” he told Guardian Australia. “It’s all about creating an inflated or artificial sense of urgency so you rush into spending decisions.

“It’s worth remembering that often sale items are products that have been collecting dust in warehouses. These sales are really about getting dud models or stock out of retailers’ inventories.”
The sense of “impulsive purchasing” can also make consumers more susceptible to sales tricks.
Delia Rickard, the deputy chair of the ACCC, said the regulator had seen a huge explosion in online shopping scams this year.
“We’ve had around 8,000 reported incidents this year, and $4m reported loss,” she said. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Most people don’t report.”
Black Friday purchases from Australian retailers are subject to the same consumer law as on any other day. .
“By branding these sales as something special or once-off some retailers may try to suggest your consumer rights are voided as a result,” Brown said. “ ‘No refund on sales’ stipulations are illegal in Australia. We suggest brushing up on your consumer rights before key sales periods and complain to the ACCC if you see particularly egregious practices.”
Buying from overseas could provide less protection.

“If you’re accessing black Friday deals from overseas jurisdictions you may find it difficult to assert your rights if the company has no Australian base,” Brown said.
Choice have put out a guide to black Friday and consumer rights.
“If it’s too good to be true, avoid it,” Rickard said. “My personal rule is to use sites you understand and trust. If you are going anywhere else, don’t spend more than you can afford.
“Look at the payment mechanism. If they ask for payment in a cyber currency, Western Union, money transfers, those sorts of things, even gift cards happens these days. That is also going to be a tip off.”
The ACCC and Choice also warned that some products being shipped in from overseas could have safety concerns, due to Australia’s “incredibly weak” product safety laws.
“Choice particularly warns against buying children’s toys, electronic accessories and cosmetics from overseas retailers,” Brown said. “If you order products from overseas, you risk having a ticking time bomb in your home.”
Brown said local sellers could not be relied on to be safe either – Australian retailers have experienced a tripling of product recalls in the past 20 years.
