Black Friday Packaging Supplies
Black Friday (26th November) and Cyber Monday (29th November) are 2 of the biggest shopping events in the retail calendar and usually mark the start of Christmas shopping. Although they are technically just 2 days, the selling period has merged together to become an event where most retailers now run promotions for the whole month of November to help boost sales.
Black Friday originated in the US, and was traditionally a discount shopping event on the first Friday after Thanksgiving. The term Black Friday was used to refer to retailer’s accounts moving out of the red (loss making) and into the black (profit making). Black Friday first came to the UK in 2013, when Asda did a wide range of Black Friday discount deals, which paved the way for many retailers to follow suit the year after.
The majority of sales now occur online, and in 2020 due to lockdown restrictions it is estimated that 75% of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales were made online in the UK. The market this year is estimated to be worth a whopping £4.8 billion, so if you’re an online retailer this is a fantastic selling opportunity for your business.
