A Black Friday like no other

A Black Friday like no other

From food delivery companies to air carriers, a wide range of firms participated in this year’s Black Friday promotional event, which was unlike any other to date as orders, bookings etc were almost exclusively made online.

The fact that most physical stores were shut due to the lockdown resulted in the multiplication of online sales, with big companies expecting their electronic sales this year to three times higher than on Black Friday 2019.
