The sales end on Tuesday August 11, that is to say in just a few days. For Internet users as for online sales sites, it is therefore the last straight line and the ultimate opportunity to do good business for some, and to continue to empty their stocks for others. At this stage, all the major e-commerce platforms have launched their ultimate markdown, from Cdiscount to Amazon via La Fnac, Darty, La Redoute and even Boulanger. Discounts can go down to -90% on some platforms and sales at a loss accumulate: the sales are the only period when this possibility is offered to traders, so it is normal that they take advantage of it during the last days of trading. sales. The stocks are holding up for some references, while for other popular products, it is already no longer possible to take advantage of attractive prices. In any case, it is useful to shop around for the remaining offers: it is always possible to find the rare pearl before the end of the summer sales. We have selected 10 must-see flash offers for the last weekend of the event.

Why are sales only for 4 weeks?
Since the January 2020 winter sales edition, this promotional period no longer lasts six, but four weeks. A period now recorded as being final: it is the Pacte law, passed in 2019, which brought about this change. It was the merchants themselves who supported the process, believing that a period of six weeks had actually become too long and that customers were no longer receptive during the entire period. By passing the latter to four weeks, the Ministry of the Economy hoped to revitalize the sales and give them a new lease of life. In fact, this is indeed what is happening, in particular through the acceleration of the implementation of the various markdowns. With four markdowns offered in four weeks instead of six, price reductions are accelerating, as is the concrete arrival of sales at a loss, and this allows buyers to be more involved in the various promotional initiatives. This is the reason why the sales no longer last six weeks, but only four, and as we can see, the good plans are still there, even with a period of intense promotions a little reduced.
After the sales, what are the next events?
The sales are over… live the sales! Well, we will have to wait until January 2021 to be able to take advantage of the winter sales, but in the meantime, various events will allow you to stock up on good deals. In September, the French Days will once again put French e-merchants in the spotlight on the occasion of their back-to-school edition. Amazon's Prime Day could also take place in September or October, which has yet to be confirmed by the online store. At the end of November, Black Week is eagerly awaited, as is Black Friday on Friday, November 27, which we no longer present: it remains a very interesting period to buy Christmas gifts at reduced prices! Finally, the Monday following this event, ie November 30, Cyber Monday will bring up the rear with a day of promotions that will take place, once again, entirely on the Internet. So there are still plenty of good business opportunities in 2020!
