Advent markets: Despite savings, the love of gifts remains strong!

The start of the Christmas season is marked this year by the Black Friday, which is the official start of the Christmas business. This explains Raimund Haberl, the spokesman for the trading section at the Carinthia Chamber of Commerce. Despite initial fears of buyers to give away fewer gifts, current sales show show the opposite. "In many cases, the fears that customers will save will not be found as correct," adds Haberl.

The classic gifts for close friends and family members are still very popular. Many buyers are more likely to focus on gifts for remote acquaintances or colleagues. "Family members, children and partners are given presents as ever," emphasizes Haberl and emphasizes that Advent is still the most important sales time for retail. "Even if some claim that they would give less, the will to buy remains unbroken especially for personal gifts," it is emphasized.
