As for the type of establishments where they prefer to make purchases, it is the big retailers and supermarkets that top the list, because during Black Friday 2015 they accumulated 51% of the search queries on Tiendeo.com . The leaflets and offers from these types of establishment grab the attention of users because of the wide variety of items they offer in one space, saving time on shopping.

The present study also reveals that 45% of consumers will plan their purchases of Black Friday 2016 with the main objective of taking advantage of the discounts and offers available before going to physical stores.

Likewise, a 14% increase in visits to www.Tiendeo.com is expected this year, compared to 2015, of which 70% will be made through its mobile app. This increase in the use of smartphones when planning purchases is due in large part to new technologies, such as geolocation which lets consumers be informed about the best deals offered by businesses in their area.

There is also a growing use of online platforms, especially mobile, to plan purchases in advance to be able to benefit from the best promotions that different establishments offer.
