Snapshots from Black Friday in JYSK
Experience what Black Friday looked like at distribution centres and in stores across JYSK.
For several years, the sales activities around Black Friday have been some of the busiest periods in JYSK. 2019 was no exception, and sales reached new heights across many countries.
For GOJYSK.com we asked colleagues in Germany, Sweden, Slovenia and Bulgaria to share some snapshots from their Black Friday activities.
Germany
Bramsche
Despite his ear injury, Duc is happy to be around at this extremely busy day to help customers.
Duc, Tanja, Jessy and Sharon know today’s message very well: “Save up to 75% on Black Friday!”
“We are nearly sold out with our Black Friday specials, but we can, of course, make a great offer to every customer,” the team states.
Hamburg
Jennifer, Maximilian, Amelie, Janine and Joshua are ready to rock the Black Friday:
„With sales of nearly 1.000,- € in the first hour after doors opened, we had a great start – fingers crossed for the rest of the day“, says the team in Hamburg-Lokstedt.
Münster
Taking a break? Yes, but only after doors closed behind the last customer and a hugely successful sales day has ended. Sascha, Claudia, Lisa and Jens are tired, but happy.
Store Manager Jens: “We had even more customers than last year. Pillows and duvets went very well – and from our LED-lit garden tree we even had to sell our exhibit sample.”
Stuhr-Brinkum
Sancha and Bianca with their lucky charm „Nisse“, who apparently did a good job.
The team got company from Head of Retail John (far left). The rest of the Gang: Leanne, Sancha, Vivien, Bianca, Dennis and Jendrik.
Store manager Vivien: „Duvets and Christmas decoration are the top sellers, today. We had a lot of customers all morning, some told us they had taken a day off, just to go shopping.“
Suhl
Anja, Marlen, Holger and Corrina are having a well deserved break after a successful Black Friday.
Sweden
Nässjö (Distribution Centre)
The team in Nässjö packages all products ordered online during Black Friday's first hours.
The goal is for customers to receive delivery already on Monday. So far a lot of customers have also chosen the alternative to get their delivery to a nearby JYSK store. The packages that are being prepared right now are going to be delivered by mail.
Slovenia
Ljubljana
On such a successful day, it is important that we do not forget to celebrate good results with high-fives to our colleagues!
Bulgaria
Bozhurishte (Distribution Centre)
Most of the goods for Black Friday for the stores in Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Romania and Bosnia are delivered by DCR.
DCB is responsible for a modest amount of about 100 m3 per day which equals 2000 m3 in a period of 2 weeks.
Maya, one of the colleagues in Outbound, is loading pallets for the deliveries to our stores for Black Friday.
She has been working in JYSK DCB since the beginning of April 2019, and now she has a lot of experience with transport and loading.
Plamen, one of the pioneers in DCB Operations team, carefully wraps the items with the wrapping machine.
He believes that stable quality pallets wrapped well with foil are essential for good delivery to our stores, happy store staff and, therefore, happy customers.
