Unraveling the Black Friday Phenomenon's German Origins
Meeting Simon Gall, the Black Friday Pioneer
In the enchanting world of bargain-hunting and online marketing, we must thank a tenacious, tech-savvy German named Simon Gall from Oberhausen. This family man, marketing whiz, and unapologetic web enthusiast gifted us the concept of Black Friday in Germany, and it continues to grow annually.
The Early Web Adventurer
Simon Gall's love affair with the internet started in the mid-nineties, during his school days. His initial encounter took place on a Simpsons comic series website, which catapulted him into a whole new realm of online exploration. Within no time, Gall and his family had a 33k modem, welcoming the dawn of their connected life.
Leading the Black Friday Frontline
The internet and marketing passion drove Gall to pioneer the enchanting portal that now gathers Black Friday deals for countless shoppers. Gal's nerves for victory were tested but strengthened when he challenged the Hong Kong-based holding company that controlled the renowned Black Friday trademark, whose exorbitant license fees threatened to obligate all advertisers.
Legal Battle: Black Friday's Unchaining
Gall's campaign for liberation proved victorious with the Federal Court of Justice's June ruling, declaring that "Black Friday" was free for all to use. This triumphant verdict by the German court liberated myriads of retailers, releasing them from the license fee constraint.
Unparalleled Offers in 2023
Looking forward to the 2023 Black Friday extravaganza, shoppers can count on a surplus of deals from hundreds of providers who enthusiastically join the fray, embracing the unbridled bargain explosion.
Black Friday's European Inception
Gall's miraculous discovery of Black Friday's birthplace in the USA evoked memories from the past, like rummage tables in the sixties German sales, an era only whispered in legend today. Online becomes the battlefield for these discount hunts.
Gall's German Invasion
From the humble beginnings of a single portal that showcased the best Black Friday deals in 2012, Gall's devoted efforts to transform Black Friday into a German sensation remained unforeseen. In a decade, this disheartening unforeseen turn of events became a beloved tradition that united frenzied shoppers on this opportune day.
The Potential U.S. Adventure
Gall's obsession with the Black Friday madness has kept him in Germany for the past ten years, ensuring our bargain bounty. Regrettably, Gall has yet to experience the U.S. Black Friday bedlam in person.
