Black Friday 2025 will make $6.8 billion. Not bad over four days. Six million Australians will participate. About 44% of Australian retailers will join, up from 41% in 2024.
The official start of Black Friday 2025 is 28 November, but waiting is not a good idea. Standard practice for many Australian retailers is to start now. Major retailers like Myer and David Jones have already begun their sales. Some promotions actually started in late October. Amazon has announced its Black Friday sale begins next week, on 18 November. The Black Friday period has expanded, making an early start crucial. Here are some images of shops that have started their Black Friday Sales now. I took some pictures of retailers now in a shopping centre in the DFO in Moorabbin, Vic, already pushing their Black Friday Sales.We are also doing a Black Friday Sale now.
Leveraging POS System
Your POS systems provide critical tools, such as the "Top Selling Items" report, to identify high-demand products. Analyse your sales of last November 2024 and the previous 30 days to see what sells in your shop. Details here.
Conclusion
Early Black Friday sales in 2025 offer you a strategic edge by starting now.
