Black Friday will be here before we know it, and one online retailer that always performs the best is Amazon.
Not content with slashing prices during its Prime Day sale, the retail giant is also using Black Friday as an additional opportunity to offer discounts to non-Prime members — and with the timing perfect for the holidays, these offers are hard to resist.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Amazon's Black Friday sales tend to start a little earlier than the actual date, with this year's kicking off on November 29th.
When does Black Friday end?
The highly anticipated shopping event will culminate with fanfare on Cyber Monday, traditionally a time for purchasing all kinds of tech products.
This year Cyber Monday is December 2nd.
Why is it called Black Friday?
Imported from the United States, Black Friday takes place the day after Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. After finishing their turkey, families flock to stores and shopping malls to buy merchandise from the world's most famous retailers and brands.
While brick-and-mortar stores often see shoppers scrambling for the last items on the shelves, savvy shoppers are heading online for digital sales that mean no more changing out of their pajamas, waiting in line for hours at the register, or fighting with Sandra over the last pair of discounted headphones.
Amazon has been a leader in online businesses since it was founded in Jeff Bezos' garage in 1994.
What kind of deals can we expect from Amazon's Black Friday this year?
Amazon is known for dramatically slashing the prices of its own-brand products, including Echo, Show, Kindle, and Fire devices. Last year, it offered great deals on gaming (consoles and bundles), 4K and OLED TVs, laptops, jewelry, food and beverage, and major beauty brands.
We're confident bargain hunters can expect a similar trend in 2024, with a particular emphasis on home security products such as Ring video doorbells.
Big names like Google, Simba, Fitbit, and L'Oreal are sure to offer huge discounts on their best-selling products, sometimes up to 70% off.
Whether you're looking to check something off your Christmas shopping list or just want an excuse to buy that tech product you've had your eye on all year, Amazon's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are the perfect opportunity to jump on board.
While we wait for the official Black Friday sales to begin, we've rounded up some of the most enticing deals currently on offer at Amazon.
