'Get 3, pay 1', '1 + 1 free' or 'discounts that can go up to 80%'. These are campaigns that companies are using to draw customers this weekend under the guise of 'Black Friday'.

"Sinterklaas is coming and Christmas presents can already be bought. This makes it beneficial for both brick shops and webshops to participate."
