 |  Amazon coins it in during French lock-down Activity boosted by 50 percent Online retail giant Amazon, which has been operating during the French lockdown, has seen a boost in activity by 40-50 per cent. France entered a second national lockdown on October 30 and it is set to last at least until early December. Curbs include the closure of non-essential stores, restaurants, and bars. Amazon’s Frederic Duval told France Inter radio, that the French online retail federation FEVAD figures recorded activity rising 40 percent to 50 percent and “this is more or less what we are seeing”. Duval gave no indication that Amazon could cancel its “Black Friday” discount shopping day on Nov. 27 at a time when small shops, which have been struggling to compete against Amazon, are closed. “The French need to do their Christmas shopping and they need to make savings. This period at the end of November is important for that and it is important to offer that opportunity”, he said. “What I hope is that small shopkeepers that were prevented from opening during the lockdown can reopen as soon as possible and if they can do that on 27 November, it’s perfect,” https://fudzilla.com/news/51902-amaz...ench-lock-down |
