Black Friday 2024 

 

UK Black Friday sales increased by 7.5% year-on-year in 2023 despite the cost-of-living crisis, with the trend expected to continue in 2024. You might be surprised to find out that in a recent survey it was revealed that 48% of people will be turning to social media for their Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals, and only 20% going directly to websites. 

This highlights a growing trend that’s reflected throughout the eCommerce market, not just on Black Friday but throughout the whole of the year, of people increasingly trusting and turning to social media platforms, such as TikTok Shop, and more and more for their online purchases. The increase in customer demand during Black Friday brings with it parcel delivery expectations that your business must be able to meet. 

 

Parcel Logistics Challenges Faced by Businesses 


Black Friday and
Cyber Monday bring unparalleled challenges to businesses, especially in the realm of parcel delivery. The sheer volume of orders surging through the system can strain logistics and transportation networks, creating a ripple effect of issues. Delays in delivery not only result in unhappy customers but also pose the risk of missed sales and a tarnished reputation. 

The heightened competition during this period increases the difficulty of securing reliable courier services. The pressure to meet skyrocketing demand can stretch existing logistics capabilities to their limits. Additionally, limitations such as operating hours for parcel pickups by carriers add an additional layer of complexity, potentially derailing well-laid plans.
