What and when is Black Friday?
Black Friday traditionally takes place on the Friday after the American Thanksgiving Day. This year it falls on Friday, November 26th, 2021. Individual retailers, including Amazon, have already rescheduled the start to Friday, November 19th, 2021.
In Germany, Black Friday was introduced by Apple in 2006 when the US group released its Black Friday offers to German customers for the first time. Since then, the day has firmly established itself in the German retail calendar and continues to be celebrated by retailers as “Black Week” for a whole week. This week of discounts also traditionally ends in Germany with Cyber Monday, on which retailers concentrate on discounts on electronic or digital devices.
Black Friday in Germany: Who is participating?
In addition to the large online retailers Amazon and Ebay, numerous retailers from different areas take part in Black Friday. These include well-known companies such as Otto, Saturn, Media Markt, Tchibo and Zalando.
While Black Friday in Germany took place primarily on the Internet for many years, it has now also made the leap into the country’s pedestrian zones and shopping malls. In the past, it has been observed in large cities that almost every retail sector – from the small bakery to the eyewear shop to the supermarket – wanted a piece of the Black Friday cake and lured them with appropriate offers.
Black Friday Deals: Discount hunters should watch out for this
How much the customer really benefits from the campaign days is controversial. The comparison portal Idealo.de came to the result in a random sample that of 2237 products examined on Black Friday 2019 actually 1722 cheaper than in the previous month, 320 were reduced by 20 percent or more. Large price jumps were therefore rather the exception. The consumer advice center advises consumers to keep a cool head when hunting for bargains. Price comparisons in search engines like idealo.de (belongs to Axel Springer SE like WELT) could be more worthwhile than the special offers on the day of the campaign.
The respective offers of the day are on one Supply side* gathered, which has been broken down into further subcategories. If you already know which areas are of interest to you, it will make browsing easier for you and you will find the products that suit you more quickly. For example, since lightning deals are available to members of Amazon Prime 30 minutes earlier, it can be worthwhile to purchase a Trial membership* to be concluded – this is free for 30 days.
