In today’s InternetRetailing newsletter, we’re looking ahead to Black Friday, now just days away. We consider how some of the leading multichannel and ecommerce retailers are approaching the event that is widely expected to be the UK’s first £1bn online sales day. Our guest comment today stays on the same theme, as Craig Teich of Connexity shares 10 marketing tips to boost Christmas sales.
We also report on the latest strategic and digital updates from retailers including Pets at Home, Screwfix, AO World, and Bonmarché. Today we also report on a study that suggests shoppers buying online do so for the convenience and the customer experience rather than low prices.

This afternoon (November 24) we’re joined by Chris Ross, responsible for corporate business development at Secure Trading, who will be considering how retailers can best prepare for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
