From an American trend to a global event
Since its emergence in the USA, Black Friday has become an important date in the global shopping calendar and is now considered the starting signal for the Christmas shopping season. According to a Statista study in 2023, more than 60% of consumers worldwide planned to take part in discount campaigns on this day. In the USA in particular, participation rate is impressively high - 86% of consumers there take advantage of the offers to make Christmas purchases or secure large discounts on otherwise expensive products.
Black Friday is growing in popularity in Switzerland, with sales rising to CHF 490 million in 2023. According to a study by DemoSCOPE, 65% of consumers adjust their shopping behavior due to increased prices, which shows that Black Friday is an important opportunity for brands to respond specifically to changing consumer habits. Particularly noteworthy is the high conversion rate of 5.1% in Swiss online stores, which underlines the importance of this shopping event.
