Romanian retailer eMAG.ro sells EUR 4 mln of products in five hours on Black Friday
The retailer's website had 400,000 unique visitors – around 2 percent of Romania's population. The high number of visitors blocked its servers- displaying the message in the picture above, that writes 'Nu e vine mea, sunteti prea multi' (translated as It's not my fault, there are too many of you).
“The impact was beyond any expectation if we compare it to any other even in the retail history in Romania. We are trying to increase the quantities from our suppliers for special promotions,” said radu Apostolescu of eMAG.
