Black Friday Switzerland
If in the United States, Black Friday creates such a craze that crowds pour in mass in the streets and shops, to block the entrance to the shops.
Fortunately, we are not there yet in Switzerland. Black Friday only arrived in Switzerland in 2014 with Manor, which means that the shopping event is still in its infancy compared to the United States. But in five years, the impact that the event had on the economic panorama in our country is certain.
Black Friday Switzerland notably allows Manor to make 30% of its annual turnover in the period of November. Now, that doesn’t mean we’re going overboard shopping. The Swiss consumer is of a reasonable type in his purchases, taking advantage of the event to do his Christmas shopping, as Manor notes in 2018.
The brand also believes that part of its revenue for Christmas shopping is made during Black Friday Switzerland, without being able to measure the exact proportion. This is not surprising, the event taking place less than a month before Christmas. With that, Santa Claus will come before time!
Black Friday, already five years!
Black Friday celebrates six years this year in Switzerland! Switzerland has already participated in this shopping event for six years, which allows lots of consumers to get bargains a few weeks before Christmas! Born in the United States in the 1930s, Black Friday is celebrated the day after the Thanksgiving meal. it’s a very important holiday in the hearts of Americans! In Switzerland, if Thanksgiving is not celebrated, Black Friday grows every year, to become an essential sales period for bargain lovers.
Within the country, the word Black Friday is becoming more and more pronounced in the lips of the Swiss, who await it at the turn each year! This year, the Black Friday 2024 will takes place on November 29 in Switzerland, as in many countries around the world.
Increase in participating businesses
