01.01.2022 The first of the massive November online sales events kicks off this evening, as customers eagerly wait for Click Frenzy. Retail turnover from online sales continues to increase at a high rate, due to the effects of COVID-19, but can also be attributed to the rise in popularity of events such as Click Frenzy and Black Friday, combined with the fact that buying online is a convenient option for many shoppers. Christmas is an important time of the year for retail and many smaller operators rely on strong sales in the festive season to sustain their business throughout quieter parts of the year. A poor Christmas period for retail will have a knock-on effect to other parts of the economy, so we encourage shoppers to indulge in some retail therapy between now and the end of the year. #clickfrenzy #ecommerce #retail #onlineretail #onlinesales
