The online mail order company is warming itself up for the approaching Christmas business and the bargain hunt around Black Friday: with special offers in September. After the first week of offers, the discounts are extended. We looked around for interesting special offers for you.
Black Friday: These offers are already available!
WIf he likes to shop online and also looks at the price, he usually starts in June to at least mentally create a small wish list. Because Prime Day in mid-June, with numerous offers and discounts, is considered by many to be the online shopping event of the summer. Recently, there have been increasing signs that Prime Day will have an offshoot in autumn. However, this is traditionally occupied by the Black Friday discount event, which has recently been expanded to include Cyber Monday and Cyber Week.
Amazon recently started another special offer at the end of the summer with discounts of over 70 percent in some cases. But deal foxes at Amazon & Co. also get their money’s worth outside of the prominent bargain days. We looked around in the jungle of percentages and put together some offers.

What is Black Friday?
Black Friday has been a permanent fixture in the US for decades, and every year millions of Americans gather in front of the shopping malls early in the morning, hoping to pick up the best bargains of the year. The large online shops also offer special offers and, in some cases, strong discounts on this day.
In Germany, Black Friday was introduced by Apple in 2006 when the US group released its Black Friday offers to German customers for the first time. Since then, the day has firmly established itself in the calendar of German retailers.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday traditionally takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the American Thanksgiving Day. This year it falls on Friday, November 26th, 2021. Individual retailers, including Amazon, are moving the start to Thursday, November 25th, 2021.
Black Friday: The difference to classic sales
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Singles Day: A flood of new bargain days is also spilling over to Germany and is overtaking the classic sales.
The most important difference: The discounts are already available at the beginning of the Christmas business and not in the last days before or even after the festival. Black Friday and Cyber Monday alone three days later should, according to experts, generate additional sales in the billions.
Black Friday Germany: Who is participating?
In addition to the large online retailers Amazon and Ebay, numerous retailers from different areas take part in Black Friday. These include well-known companies such as Otto, Saturn, Media Markt, Tchibo and Zalando.
While Black Friday in Germany took place primarily on the Internet for many years, it has now also made the leap into the country’s pedestrian zones and shopping malls. In the past, it has been observed in large cities that almost every retail sector – from the small bakery to the eyewear shop to the supermarket – wanted a piece of the Black Friday cake and lured them with appropriate offers.
Cyber Monday: what is it?
If you missed out on Black Friday or have not yet found the right thing, you can go hunting again three days later. Cyber Monday always takes place on the Monday after Black Friday, this year on November 29, 2021.
Black Friday Amazon: Die Cyber Week
The shipping giant Amazon is calling out a whole “Cyber Week” around Black Friday and is thus putting a whole seven days into the sign of discounts and offers. Amazon is promising big discounts on products in all categories for Cyber Week, as well as 55,000 lightning deals and daily offers, which should be reduced by up to 50 percent.
Black Friday offers: Discount hunters should pay attention to this
How much the customer really benefits from the campaign days is controversial. The comparison portal Idealo.de came to the result in random samples that of 2237 products examined on Black Friday 2019 actually 1722 cheaper than in the previous month, 320 were reduced by 20 percent or more. Large price jumps were therefore rather the exception. The consumer advice center advises consumers to keep a cool head when hunting for bargains. Price comparisons in search engines like idealo.de (like WELT belongs to Axel Springer SE) could be more worthwhile than the special offers on the day of the campaign.
The respective offers of the day are gathered on an offer page *, which is broken down into further subcategories. If you already know which areas are of interest to you, it will make browsing easier for you and you will find the products that suit you faster. For example, since Amazon Prime members can access lightning offers 30 minutes earlier, it can be worthwhile to take out a trial membership * – this is free for 30 days.
