We are delighted to present you with our brand new ‘Black Friday & Christmas Review 2023’ report, supported by SheerID.

Each year IMRG tracks UK online retailers’ Black Friday performance to create a comprehensive report that dives into the key takeaways and trends for the ecommerce community. Retailers can use this report to help inform their future Black Friday strategies.

There are three streams of data used throughout this report. The first being data from IMRG’s Online Retail Index which is representative of 200+ retailers and £26bn+. The second stream of data is from IMRG’s Daily Black Friday Tracker which reveals daily performance for around 140 retailers during Black Friday week (including Cyber Monday) 2023. The final stream of data comes from analysing over 360 retail sites during November to see trends such as campaign launch dates.
