Less than a third of consumers plan to shop online for bargains over Black Friday (27 November), according to a new survey.
According to a survey conducted for global information security and risk management company, NTT Com Security less than a quarter (23 per cent) will do ’some’ shopping online, while just 7 per cent will do ’most’ or ’all’ of it online.
Black Friday was brought to the UK by Amazon five years ago.
By 2014, UK shoppers spent £1million every three minutes on Black Friday, resulting in total sales of over £800 million that day and a jump in store traffic of 23 per cent.
