Stuttgart – Halloween and Valentine’s day. Many phenomena are already spilled over from the United States to Germany over. So, the Black Friday. In the USA, it marks the start of the Christmas shopping season and is traditionally held on the Friday after the American thanksgiving, Thanksgiving.

“Black Friday is not here yet so popular,” says Stefan Hertel from the German trade Association, “also, the Christmas season starts here already in the beginning of November”. Torsten Bornemann, chair of General business administration and Marketing at the University of Stuttgart, speaks of a family event and a strong Ritualization in America: “It is a unique Event in the United States. I can’t imagine that it is obtained in Germany, ever the same meaning." He believes, rather, that the traders import the Event to designate a special day in the “Discount jungle”, where the customers have the feeling of the discounts really worth going. Because many people have the feeling that there is already long-lasting price discounts.
Not just online retailers when Black Friday
offers are there especially in the Internet. A quarter of the Online merchants in Germany is to be the Black Friday. A survey by the trade Association and the E-Commerce-center Köln in the year 2015. The Black Friday is taking place in this country, particularly in online shops, but also the stationary trade is jumping on the train.
