The Hullabaloos Created By This Year’s Black Friday Have Come And Gone, What Next?
Yesterday
the world was thrown into shopping frenzy as family and friends thronged into
their favourite online and offline shops to scout for goods at discounted
offers, as it has been the norm for merchants to exhibit high volumes of goods
at discounted prices every Black Friday of the year.
As expected,
this year’s Black Friday offered no much difference from what we used to
observe in previous years Black Friday.
Expectations
were high as usual and many prospective shoppers bookmarked the date on their
calendar for this year’s Black Friday, while some even kept vigil for the day.
Down here,
Jumia and Konga were the most visited online shopping stores as they offered
flash sales at particular interval of time where certain goods were given up at
half their normal prices.
As the
hullabaloos created by this year’s Black Friday lasted, many shoppers had their
reservations, especially on their experiences on the Jumia and Konga platform.
While few shoppers
acknowledged that their fingers were fast enough to snap up some of the
discounted goods at half the prices on Jumia and Konga as advertised, many of
them were of the opinion that the whole activities were more of scams and
debacles.
Though on my
own part, as this year’s Black Friday drew closer, I was not very much excited,
maybe because of the not too good experience that I had in last year’s Black
Friday, or maybe just to say that I was not in shopping mood.
Now, 2015
Black Friday has come and gone; what next?
I guess what
will be in the mind of many now is Cyber
Monday; off course upcoming Monday is regarded as Cyber Monday, a day where
the discounted sales offers continue after Black Friday.
For those
that missed the opportunities and were unable to shop for their favourite items
at discounted prices on Black Friday, Cyber Monday offers another day and
opportunities to continue shopping at discounted rates.
To some,
Cyber Monday is the real day for them and that is the day they are looking up to for the commencement
of their Xmas season shoppings.
On your
part, what do you make of this year’s Black Friday? Did you partake and were you
able to acquire any items at highly discounted offer, or you are also of the
opinion that Jumia and Konga were major scams of the event?
Share your
experiences bellow and tell us if you have set eyes on Cyber Monday.

ReplyDeleteLol.. How come prices that are supposed to be going down on Black Friday all of a sudden went up..the merchant on online shop in question should be ready to explain that
DeleteIt's funny but just do a little patient comparison... : before Black Friday : item 10 display at #20000 instead of #21350.
ReplyDeleteOn BF what you see is : (same) item 10 display at #19000 instead of #29500! This looks like a huge drop, but it's just a play with figures
