The rise of #BLACKFRIDAY... In Australia, Boxing Day has traditionally been the biggest day of sales in the retail calendar. However through the distribution of the internet and the growth of social media, the global barriers have been reduced and Boxing Day has slowly lost it's prominence. A concept that originated in the hub of commerce and capitalism, the USA has overtaken Boxing Day. Black Friday, day of shopping traditionally undertaken after Thanksgiving has expanded across the waters and exploded into what is regarded as a month long retail peak spanning across November. Curious, I entered the elementary comparison into google trends and saw that since 2018 Black Friday has far exceeded Boxing Day in terms of search volume. While not a perfect science, it shows the growing trend of Black Friday in the Australian Retail and Ecommerce Scene. Have you shopped Black Friday yet? #Retail #BoxingDay #Trends #Ecommerce #Trade

Is the Boxing Day shopping frenzy going out of style? After the whirlwind of Christmas, is rushing to the Boxing Day sales still worth it? 🛍️ I’ve been fortunate the last few years to enjoy some time off over the holidays, and it’s great to see John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners giving their teams the same by closing over 300 shops this year. With stores like M&S and Next already making this move, it feels like retail is stepping back from the post-Christmas rush. Besides, why go out when you can shop the sales from the comfort of your home? 📲 As consumer habits continue to shift online, maybe it’s time more brands prioritised rest over retail… What do you think - should all shops close on Boxing Day? https://lnkd.in/eWDb9aNF

I’ve already got some returns packaged up and ready to be dropped off at the local Inpost locker. Happens to be a drop off point where I will restock the IPA for the next few days. Interesting to see that of the 3 returns none of them were free to the consumer. I did manage to exchange 1 of them but the other 2 were refunds. Having worked in the returns space I see the value of early refund triggers so I can start spending again. The ability to exchange at the point of returning is so convenient but never easy for the retailer. Moving returns form A to B is easy. The value added services is where the true value is.
