Buen Fin Analysis: A Record Breaking 2020
Expectations
The tenth edition of Mexico’s annual event, Buen Fin, that encourages commerce through promotions and discounts in order to activate the economy has arrived.
Due to the global context and the COVID-19 pandemic, Buen Fin generated a duality of expectations. Prior to the event, there was a great deal of discussion about the success of this year’s edition, arguing whether the economy would be, in fact, activated at such a difficult time.
The Mexican Online Sales Association (AMVO) reported that 7 out of 10 online shoppers planned to purchase some product during Buen Fin 2020. They also noted that 5 out of 10 potential participants planned to spend more online during Buen Fin. Among the featured categories, there were greater sales predicted in electronics, fashion and household appliances.
However, there were theories that ensured a disconcerting prognosis, anticipating little response from consumers, mainly because of the increased unemployment the past few months.
The Results
Buen Fin 2020 reached record numbers and managed to increase sales up to 20% over those of the previous year.
This year’s edition was extended up to 12 days, lasting significantly longer than previous years. Among the best-selling items were footwear, clothing and technology products, as well as appliances. According to PROFECO, families spent between 1,000 and 10,000 Mexican pesos during Buen Fin. Without further surprise, the vast majority of sales were made online, largely because of the country’s health situation.
