The annual event that opens the Christmas shopping period will be held throughout the 24 hours of Friday, the 27th.
The consumer must be aware of how he seeks the supplier. It is good to avoid clicking on links sent by email, Whatsapp or messages.
It is he who must look for the supplier on his own initiative, accessing the official pages.
