In the U.S., Black Friday (November 29), Super Saturday (December 21) and the day after Christmas (December 26) are expected to be the first, second and third busiest shopping days, respectively.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the busiest days.
Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States since 2005, although news reports, which at that time were inaccurate, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time.
The variable placement of Thanksgiving each year is the culprit, since the fourth Thursday of November can run anywhere from November 22 to November 28. This year, it's November 28, so the shopping season is six days shorter than a year ago (and the shortest since 2013).
More than 60% of US consumers prefer to buy their holiday gifts online.
Christmas Eve is traditionally an obscenely busy day for retailers as those of us who have left our shopping to the last possible moment hit the High Street in panic mode. However, retailers experienced a drop in footfall of almost 10 per cent on Tuesday compared to the same date last year, figures show.
On December 26, the big holiday is over, but for retailers the party is still going strong. The day after Christmas is no Cyber Monday or Black Friday, but it still marks a huge opportunity for sales. In fact, it's the fifth-busiest shopping day of the year, according to data from RetailNext.
