Ignorance and confusion
In addition, this traditionà which the ensigns of French are converted there are two-three years, remains still unknown in france. According to Toluna, 57.1% of the French have heard about it. It is much less than the other major commercial animation of November, the beaujolais nouveau (81,3 % brand awareness). Another survey conducted by the website Brandalley shows that 45% of French do not even know what the term ” Black Friday “.
The reasons come at once to the fact that the operation is quite recent in France, but perhaps also because in the last year, it had been rebranded under various names, several distributors, stating that the term “Black Friday” inappropriate after the attacks on Friday 13 November in Paris.
This year, some of which are income to the appellation of origin, but not all. Auchan will do a “crazy weekend” Crossroads “of the day discount” and The Redoubt ” a Great weekend “.
This multiplicity of names, with of terms and of different lengths according to the signs, “further limits the popularity of the event,” said Philippe Guilbert, ceo of Toluna.
