Last year’s Black Friday sales were overtaken at 16:20 today. Promotions will be added until midnight.
More than 15 percent of Black Friday orders have been prepared for delivery from eMAG warehouses. The couriers will work on Saturdays and Sundays, so that as many deliveries as possible reach customers.
“Black Friday orders reached a record level within the first 9 hours of the event opening. We have an unprecedented interest that will lead us to an increase of almost 30 percent over last year and 10 percent above our target for this year. We estimate sales of over RON 440 million for the whole day,” said Tudor Manea, eMAG general manager.
Donations for education
eMAG customers have donated constantly throughout the day and we estimate that by the end of the day the amount will reach RON 100,000. All of these donations go to education projects managed by the eMAG Foundation.
