Black Friday 2024

The ultimate event for  the best tech and sports deals

Black Friday has become one of the most anticipated shopping events of the year for deal hunters. Originating in the United States, this special day quickly gained global popularity.

Traditionally set on the fourth Friday of November, right after Thanksgiving, it marks the start of the holiday sales season with spectacular promotions on a wide range of products, from electronics like the iPhone 16 and PS5 to sportswear and accessories (shoes, watches, phone mounts for bikers, cyclists, and runners).

A Look Back at Black Friday History

The term Black Friday was first used to refer to a financial crash in the gold market caused by two unscrupulous Wall Street bankers on September 24, 1869. Following this collapse, merchants experienced a tough year, and it is said their accounts returned “to the black” (after being “in the red”) thanks to the promotions around Thanksgiving.

Other sources explain that in the 1950s, the Philadelphia police adopted this term to describe the chaos and traffic jams caused by the massive influx of shoppers after Thanksgiving, making the day particularly challenging for traffic and safety management. This is how the term took on its modern meaning, associated with Black Friday promotions and the frenzied shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.

Black Friday 2024 by the Numbers

The Black Friday 2024 once again promises to be an unmissable event, whatever your interests may be. In 2023, over 9 million French shoppers took part in this sales day, with an average spending of €250 per person.

With the growth of online sales (+7% in 2023), it’s easy to compare prices and enjoy exclusive deals on your favorite products. It’s also an opportunity to try new brands at reduced prices. The most popular categories remain electronics, fashion, and high-tech products. And although Shapeheart doesn’t sell the iPhone 16 or PS5, we do offer innovative and reliable solutions for anyone wanting to keep their phone accessible during their motorcycle, cycling, or running adventures.
