Black Friday 2020: Willingness to buy decreases due to Corona

The willingness to buy has decreased significantly across Europe.

Only half of all respondents plan to

shop

on the

bargain

days across Germany.

The budget also

shrank

on

Black Friday

and

Cyber ​​Monday

compared to the previous year.

Consumers plan on an average of 205 euros for the two bargain days.

In the previous year it was 242 euros - around 40 euros more.

In other countries, too, such as Italy or Spain, willingness to pay has decreased.

Online shopping

was already very popular in 2019.

shows that

more than half of those surveyed plan to buy mostly or exclusively online.

Only 14 percent want to support local providers on site.

want to

browse and be inspired by the numerous
