What an incredible year! We\u2019ve set our own shipping record, to be specific: 26,875 packages in just a single day. Also in 2018, we were able to welcome our ten millionth customer! That’s just great. To celebrate that, we\u2019ve collected even more interesting facts and impressive numbers referring to 2018, a great year for Thomann…<\/strong><\/p>\n

~ 1,380,000,000 visits to the Thomann website:<\/b><\/h3>\n

In numbers, that’s the total population of China<\/strong> – or, in other words: every German citizen<\/strong> has visited the Thomann homepage 16 times<\/strong> this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Mean time spent on the Thomann website: 5 minutes, 10 seconds<\/b><\/h3>\n

That\u2019s the exact length<\/strong> of \u201c<\/span>You’ve Got Another Thing Comin\u2019” by Judas Priest.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Most orders on a single day (Black Friday 2018): 27,874<\/b><\/h3>\n

If we stacked the boxes shipped on this single day, the cardboard tower would be about 11,150 meters high<\/strong> … that’s 13.5 times the Burj Khalifa,<\/strong> the tallest building in the world – or: 1.26 times Mount Everest,<\/strong> the highest mountain in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Eye candy:<\/b><\/h3>\n

In 2018, we\u2019ve uploaded 167,153 new product photos<\/strong> for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Something for your ears:<\/b><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve uploaded 16,249 new audio samples<\/strong> as well. Sounds good!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Your opinion counts:<\/b><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve been quite busy this year… we\u2019ve received 267,166 new product reviews<\/strong> and a total of 2,685,159 new stars<\/strong> for the products in our assortment – so the night sky over Treppendorf<\/strong> is glowing brightly ;-). Thanks for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Well insulated:<\/b><\/h3>\n

In 2018, we\u2019ve sold 196,063 products<\/strong> in our “Acoustic Treatment<\/strong>” category. If we assume an average of half a square meter per absorber plate, this adds up to around 98,000 square meters. We could cover 14 football fields<\/strong> with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Well wrapped:<\/b><\/h3>\n

“Stage Tape”<\/strong> has been sold 191,244 times<\/strong> this year. Assume an average of 50 meters per roll and we could tape down the route from Treppendorf to San Francisco.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Well filled:<\/b><\/h3>\n

85,725 canisters of fog fluid<\/strong> have been sold … that’s about 430,000 litres – or: 33 tanker trucks with 18 tonnes each.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Well fed:<\/h3>\n

Our t.Kitchen has continued to cook at full speed for our customers and all Thomann employees in 2018. We served:<\/b><\/p>\n

~18,200 portions of “Currywurst”<\/span><\/p>\n

~1.5 tonnes of chicken nuggets<\/span><\/p>\n

~9,000 schnitzels<\/span><\/p>\n

~20,500 sandwiches<\/span><\/p>\n

~Over 32,000 “‘Leberk\u00e4sbr\u00f6tchen”<\/span><\/p>\n

~A sensational 8.1 tonnes of French fries!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to these, customers have downed around 65,500 cups of coffee and over 8,000 litres of energy drinks. Cheers to that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
