  • According to e-commerce company Mercado Libre, Black Friday is an important day for online retail in Colombia. The company’s data shows Colombian consumers might spend up to 22% more in average than last year, and 70% of Mercado Libre users are expected to complete their purchases on mobile devices. The top categories are expected to be electronics and clothing.

 

  • Kantar has announced a 14% increase since 2017 in participation in the Buen Fin, which took place last weekend in Mexico. While Kantar estimates that 80% of Mexican consumers took part in the Buen Fin in 2017, 94% engaged in purchases this year. To get informed about sellers’ offers, 84% of consumers went to a website, 71% chose social media, and 53% headed directly to the stores.

 

  • According to the Mexican Secretary of Commerce, Services and Tourism, Buen Fin had much better results than last year. Total sales amounted to over 120 billion pesos, almost 8% more than last year. Also, it was indicated that 63% of consumers made their purchases in cash.

 

  • However, the good results are due to consumers spending more, and not necessarily because there have been more shoppers. Mexico’s Profeco has announced that only 40% of the population made a purchase during the Buen Fin, and 26% of those consumers bought clothes or shoes. The Secretary of Economy outlined that other popular products were electrical appliances, TV screens, multimedia devices, and furniture.

 

  • A survey by VTEX has concluded that e-commerce sales in Chile have decreased by 70% after the start of the political crisis on October 18th. Reportedly, numbers were positive up to then.

 

  • Research by IPSOS and Comscore Mexico has found that during Q1 2019, 67% of Mexicans had access to cable or paid broadcast TV, 80% had access to national broadcast TV, and 75% could access the internet. In addition, only 25% of those exposed to paid TV don’t have an internet connection. On the contrary, only 32% of the online population aren’t consumers of paid TV.
