Millions of Europeans now have their own webshop.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday, two typically American phenomena that have established themselves in Dutch culture in recent years. In the US, the two "shopping days" fall around Thanksgiving weekend, when nearly all Americans are off and buying gifts for their family, friends, and loved ones. The busy days in the shopping streets and web shops have gradually become a tradition in this way.

Amsterdam, September 22, 2020 - The relaxation of the measures to get the coronavirus under control and the reopening of physical stores has had little effect on the online shopping behavior of consumers in Europe.

This is almost the same as the 60 percent who frequently make an online purchase after the relaxation of the measures.
