Wild Christmas – Handelskraft Wishes You a Merry Christmas

Wild Christmas 2020
Merry Christmas!

Wild, cringe, lost.
What? Dear Gen Z and Alpha, you surely know what I’m talking about. I’m a millennial and mum of a Gen Z teenager and Gen Alpha mini. Both of them know these three words – no, they actually brought them up in the first place. I’m talking about Germany’s top 3 Youth Words (3-2-1) of the Year.

WILD: something freaking cool or awesome (24%), CRINGE: something embarrassing or awkward (28%), LOST: someone who is clueless, unsure or indecisive (48%). Three words that could not describe this year any better. We had many wild ideas, there were lots of cringe moments and… well, we certainly felt lost a few times, didn’t we?!

Quality is made up of three elements: the sum of all characteristics, the quality of all characteristics and the sum of all individual values. With the wide range of opportunities offered by the digital age, the quality standards expected by users are increasing as well.

Germany is the country of DIY stores. Nowhere else in the world are there so many stores for gardening, building and DIY supplies per capita as in the land of the alleged poets and thinkers. The industry’s e-commerce is flourishing as well. With more than 270 branches in Germany, FISHBULL Franz Fischer Qualitätswerkzeuge GmbH from Neustadt bei Coburg in Franconia has established itself in the DIY store industry. The company is mainly located in Southern and Eastern Germany. The history of Sonderpreis Baumarkt, which was founded in 1995 by two brothers, is remarkable, as the company evolved from being a market vendor to a multi-branch company with online shop.

The Franconian company has always demonstrated a special feeling for its customers and their needs. This feeling now had to be adequately transferred from analogue to digital. Our new success story impressively shows how this was achieved.
