Revamp the Black Friday Experience with Digital Signage
by Esther Chew
Last year, it was predicted that over $1 million would be spent per minute in Australia during Black Friday, with sales increasing by 8% as compared to before the pandemic. Victoria was the biggest Black Friday sales spending state in 2021, spending approximately $190 million over the weekend, followed by New South Wales and Queensland which spent about $163 million and $73 million, respectively.
What this means for retailers
Black Friday is a golden opportunity for retailers to attract customers and boost sales, as 55% of Australians are happy to browse during Black Friday and Cyber Monday even if they do not need to buy anything.
The eight weeks leading up to Christmas alone can generate 60-70% of revenue for a brand, so it is critical that retailers invest in the right marketing strategy and up their game. After all, acquiring new customers around Black Friday and keeping them happy gives retailers the opportunity to drive repeat sales during the Christmas season.
