Last year there were clear Black Friday winners and losers, with dc. being amongst the winners. Bound to be an update on or before the interims on 16th December to find out which category we fall into this year.

Interesting from what I gathered stores were quieter than expected but online was busier .

[muscletrade] 29/11/2015 16:05

purely anecdotal i know, but i took the time to visit two curry/pc world stores yesterday and on both occasions the stores were
busier than i have ever seen them. not crazy fight in the aisles stuff but very heavy footfall and the staff told me it had been consistently busy.not everyone was buying online, not by a long way. most popular commodities per the staff i spoke with ....cookers.

By the end of the day retail analyst Experian-IMRG predicts that spending online will hit £1.07 billion, a 32% increase on last year's £810 million, and companies such as John Lewis and Argos have struggled to keep their websites up and running, the Press Association reports.

Agree with CR.

Punters shopped online from everything I've searched. Seems the fighting in the stores last year has put UK shoppers off of Black Friday scrums for good - which is a good thing imo - don't want these American style scrums in the stores while shops sell stuff at too low a discount.

So punters bought on-line, which seems to have been a great success - especially with J.Lewis site having been down for an hour and Argos as slow as paint drying.

All imo.

Feedback I've had is its been nowhere as busy as expected however the slack may be taken up with online sales.

[cockneyrebel] 27/11/2015 10:58

Getting close to testing that all time high imo
