We dive into Black Friday and Cyber Monday numbers 2024 vs previous year. The numbers show significant increases on various key retail numbers.

When is Black Friday 2024? 🤔 Now that we’re reaching for our winter coats and hunkering down for the colder months, our attention is, of course, turning to Black Friday. After all, preparation is key when shopping during the biggest sale of the year. Historically falling the day after Thanksgiving in the US, it marks the start of the pre-Christmas shopping season. In fact, the first use of “black Friday” in retail can be traced all the way back to the Fifties, when it got its name after shops shifted from losses (“in the red”) to profits (“in the black”). In the decades since, the one-day sale has evolved into a four-day event (and in some cases, a whole month), that’s marked internationally and concludes on the Monday, otherwise known as Cyber Monday > https://ow.ly/lqwo50U13QV #Ecommerce #OnlineShopping #OnlineRetailers #OnlineShop #BlackFriday #Shopping #Christmas

Overall, this will be a solid Black Friday and Cyber Week. There will be growth over last year, not least because consumers are extremely receptive to bargains and are seeking ways to make their budgets stretch further. That said, the pace of growth will be relatively modest, and consumers are being very discerning as to what they buy and where they spend their money. This means not all retailers will see gains; there will be a patchwork of winners and losers.    The shape of trade will also be different this year. Black Friday itself will be a still important though less significant day as consumers started their holiday shopping earlier and retailers were offering deals in October.

Cyber Weekend 2023 accounted for an impressive 25% of total November sales, highlighting how savvy shoppers are waiting for Black Friday deals to maximise savings in today’s uncertain economy. What was once a single-day event has evolved into a month-long sales period, with many retailers kicking off promotions earlier in November. With increased competition and the ongoing cost of living crisis, consumer spending is cautious. To succeed during the golden quarter, retailers must leverage real-time insights into consumer behaviour. Staying agile and informed on shopping trends will be key to capturing demand and driving success this season. 💫🛍️🎄 #dash #cyberweekend #retailsalestrends #consumerspending
