Are you planning to spend money on online shopping? This month is the time for it • To prepare for the various specials of November, we have made an order for you with the experts in the field • And most importantly: we found out what makes each holiday unique, and who has the most affordable prices.


November is already here, and with it a big shopping celebration.

If until a few years ago the nature of the holidays and promotions was clear and distinct - then today the boundaries have blurred, until sometimes it seems to us that it is a long month of promotions and not specific days.

According to Israel Post's forecasts, the number of orders this year is expected to be similar to the same period last year, and this year about 15 million packages will be ordered from abroad in November and December. EBay, Shane, Asus and Next.

Before we dive into the details, here are the exact dates: World Online Shopping Month will open with Google's Shopping ", the Israeli online shopping event that will take place on November 9-9.

International shopping holidays will begin with "Chinese Bachelors Day" on November 11, American "Black Friday" will take place on November 26, and the following Monday, November 29, will take place on "Cyber ​​Monday".

Benny Buchnik, owner of the "That's How I Want" group, says that "Originally, the shopping celebrations were on Black Friday, which takes place last Friday of the month, in an attempt by merchants to push the American consumer to buy Christmas presents. The end of the civil year and the financial reports of the various companies.

Suppliers have an interest in selling as much as possible and cleaning goods. "

"Today there is almost no difference between 'Black Friday' and 'Cyber ​​Monday'. 'Black Friday' was a shopping holiday in stores, and 'Cyber ​​Monday' was online. We all remember the pictures of the people running towards the shops when they opened in the US .

A few years ago they added 'Cyber ​​Monday', then offered online promotions.

"Today there are promotions on 'Black Friday' that surf to 'Cyber ​​Monday', so usually these are quite similar promotions, which creates a long weekend of promotions."

Singles Day

A few years ago, Google wanted to take part in the celebration and become a significant player in the worlds of shopping, so it initiated a move in early November through local vendors. "'Shopping AL' is for online shopping. After this holiday, Chinese Singles Day is held," Buchnik notes. "This term also spread all over the world. Beyond the Chinese sites, we will also see promotions at Asus, which is a British company. However, it is worth concentrating on sites like Ali Express and suppliers or manufacturers from the East, such as Shiomi. By the way, this day also became two days or Three of sales. "

As for prices this year, Buchnik says that "in technology and leisure products there was great demand, and on the other hand there was a rise in prices of raw materials and production difficulties, so it creates an increase in prices of products. On the one hand, no one will want to stay with goods."

But given the circumstances, it seems a bit less aggressive in discounts and it will be difficult to restore the level of discounts in the world as two years ago, before the Corona.

However, this does not mean that the promotions will not be attractive.

In the fashion world, for example, the American market offers discounts of 30 to 60 percent.

In the worlds of electronics, you should expect a five to 25 percent discount, and in kitchen products, you should expect a 10 to 20 percent discount at best. "

Online ordering attack

According to Yaniv Koter, one of the owners of Dilts, which provides an address for Israelis in the United States, "Last year, 'Black Friday' took place in the midst of the Corona epidemic, and the amount of online shopping was enormous.

This year, many people who started shopping online out of necessity - because the shops and malls were closed - are already used to it, and we are expecting a large amount of deliveries.

"The chains in the United States are preparing for this, and since the beginning of November we are seeing an increase in the various promotions and offers."

The USHOPS group, which deals with personal imports from abroad, says that this year they are not waiting for "Black Friday", and that the US fashion brands are already launching huge promotions on winter collections.

Some of the promotions have already begun, and can be purchased from a variety of brands at large discounts of up to 60 percent, which will even deepen and expand to other brands during the month.

Yaron Ben Eli, CEO of the group, says that “Amazon gave the opening shot for the shopping holidays of 2021, with the announcement of free shipping on select products, forcing all major platforms to respond to it, and the online celebration begins here and now.

"For those who fear a shortage of inventory, we estimate that the big retailers and big brands will keep inventory until the end of the month, and will not disappoint buyers who are waiting for the 'Black Friday' celebrations at the end of the month."

Regarding prices, Koter says that "many chains are already trying to entice us to shop with various promotions, but it is worth the wait. The chains are constantly looking at each other and updating prices, when the peak of shopping is towards Thanksgiving. Among the promotions in the US there are 50 to 70 percent Discount at Nautica, up to 60 percent off at The Children's Place and up to 50 percent off at Old Navy. "
