Following MediaMarkt’s initial storage product discounts in early August, a broader wave of retail campaigns emerged across Germany. MediaMarkt and Saturn launched “Back to School” and stock-clearance sales with up to 50% off electronics. Other seasonal promotions included FREITAG’s student discounts on bags, AliExpress coupon events, TASCHEN’s warehouse sale, Calgon’s cashback programme, and eBay’s tech-brand coupon campaign.

On 10 August, MediaMarkt expanded its reach by offering a 15% discount on various products via its mobile application. Featured deals included a Google Pixel 10 Pro at 636.65 euros, a Dyson Hot+Cool fan, an MSI monitor, a Xiaomi Pad 8 tablet, and a Cecotec espresso machine reduced to 59 euros.

By late August, additional retail offers appeared. Action promoted a Baltimore LED panel for 9.99 euros, while Aldi Nord announced a Casalux desk lamp with an integrated smartphone holder for 7.99 euros, starting 31 August. MediaMarkt also began selling the Starlink Mini Internet Kit for 199 euros, matching direct pricing to offer a discount relative to retailers like Kaufland.
