According to the Mexican Sales Association, up to 80% of national consumers will participate in this year’s Buen Fin. 

What is El Buen Fin?

El Buen Fin is an initiative from the Economy Ministry designed to encourage consumer spending. Participating businesses and companies offer special discounts and promotions on a wide range of products and services. 

El Buen Fin’s objective is to boost the local economy and encourage the transition of small, and medium-sized businesses to the digital world so that they can sell their products online. 

While offers vary between retailers, one thing is for certain – El Buen Fin offers a great chance to hunt for bargains. (Graciela López/Cuartoscuro)
