Black Friday has developed into a global shopping phenomenon that has become an integral part of Germany too. Originally from the USA, it traditionally takes place the day after Thanksgiving and marks the start of the Christmas shopping season. It's now a whole week full of discounts and special deals in which retailers can bring their sales to a new record high. The e-commerce boost can also be clearly felt during Black Week. Fewer and fewer people are rushing to the crowded shopping centers, preferring to take advantage of the Black Friday deals online.
This is why PoD retailers have a big advantage in Black Week:
Dress: Most shoppers use Black Week to buy clothes (Statista, 2022).
Personalized Gifts: Unique and personal gifts are particularly popular for Christmas and are often bought on Black Friday.
Seasonal designs: Christmas products can be offered in print on demand without the risk of not being sold.
That's what makes a good Black Friday deal
There are discounts everywhere during Black Week. To convince customers of your deals, your offers should meet the following points:
1. Significant discounts
On Black Friday you need discounts where the customer can feel a significant price reduction. Use for this e.g. B. Buy More Save More – the higher the purchase value, the bigger the discount.
2. Limited availability
A time-limited offer creates pressure and encourages customers to act quickly, e.g. B. Flash sales that are only valid for a few hours.
3. Transparent communication
Clear communication about the Black Friday offer and its conditions creates trust among customers.
4. Additional benefits
Gifts are also very popular, take e.g. For example, add a digital product that offers your customers added value once they reach a certain purchase value.
5. Uniqueness
Offer your customers something that they will never find again in this form.
