Black friday 2019: the most crazy discounts of the year

Only ion Italy the turnover this year will be of 2 billion euros. It has already started and will end at the end of November.

Black Friday indicates the Friday following thanksgiving in the United States, considered as the beginning of the American Christmas shopping season since 1952. But a term that has only been used in more recent terms and that is followed by “Cyber ​​Monday” , on Monday dedicated to discounts in the electronics sector.

For this reason it represents a day of great gains for commercial activities.
