No bookings were made more than 60 days out from July to October, indicating traveler confidence is starting to rise.&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>The 2020 Black Friday data highlights the importance of the loyalty commerce ecosystem to support&nbsp;diversified revenue streams&nbsp;for brands as shopping habits continue to evolve amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dubai, UAE \u2013 16 December 2020:&nbsp;<\/strong>Black Friday loyalty program shoppers in 2020 spent significantly more than previous years on items to show their love and appreciation for friends, family, and themselves. Simultaneously, spending on traditional Black Friday categories like electronics and appliances, and luxury, fell. November 2020 also saw rising traveler confidence, with consumers booking trips over three months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new data comes from Collinson\u2019s global network of loyalty commerce platforms, delivered by Collinson Valuedynamx, which provides access to over 300 million loyalty program members across 24 loyalty online shopping portals and saw a 10% increase in unique shoppers this year on Black Friday, compared to 2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spending on Gifts for Loved Ones&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s Black Friday figures indicate that in a year when many people have been unable to gather physically, consumers are using their spending power to purchase gifts and flowers for loved ones. Spending on flowers, chocolates, and other items from gift retailers rose 29% in 2020 in comparison to the same period last year, as consumers chose to take advantage of the pre-Christmas offers to show their love and care, rather than spending on the traditional big-ticket items normally purchased on Black Friday and the surrounding weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Self-Care Supersedes Traditional Black Friday Categories&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While traditionally Black Friday and the surrounding weeks are a time to purchase big-ticket electronics, in 2020, spending in this category fell 11%. This is possibly an effect of big electrical spending earlier in the year when, due to COVID, many people prepared to cook, work and entertain themselves at home, leading sales of electronics and appliances to grow 32% year-on-year (YoY) in the first half of 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, spend on self-care was up. Consumers saw their wellbeing needs in terms of working out, with sports and fitness retailers seeing a 104% jump in spend YoY, while health, wellness, and beauty products were up 46%. This indicates a shift in consumer spending due to ongoing closures of beauty salons, the general stressors of the pandemic, and consumers\u2019 increasing interest in personal health and wellness at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, clothing and fashion retailers saw spending rise 59% from the Black Friday period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Travel Confidence on the Rise&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From March 2020, travel purchases fell significantly. Where travel spending did occur, it was primarily for short-term bookings occurring less than 60 days from the purchase date. However, in November 2020, the average number of days from purchase increased to 97. Consumrs&#8217;Consumers&#8217; willingness to book travel over three months points to rising traveler confidence, potentially off the back of positive news around testing initiatives and the vaccine. In comparison, the average number of days from purchase to the holiday was 153 in November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James Berry, Commercial Director, Valuedynamx at Collinson, said, \u201cThis year\u2019s Black Friday numbers are yet another indication of how much consumer shopping habits within the loyalty program landscape have evolved amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We\u2019ve seen the need to be very nimble in reacting to changing consumer demand across the traditional retail categories,&nbsp;&nbsp;working closely with retailers to align their rapidly changing strategies and budgets, which are reflected in tandem with the program\u2019s goals and objectives to provide relevant everyday offers. Loyalty commerce is an increasingly key way for brands to drive engagement with consumers via an agile ecosystem that can grow and change alongside consumers\u2019 evolving behaviors and needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valuedynamx\u2019s robust loyalty network enables consumers to earn and spend loyalty currency linked to leading travel and financial services reward programs \u2013 connecting customers to branded engagement opportunities and providing unique data insights into how people are spending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valuedynamx was launched in early 2020 to deliver personalized, low friction earn and redeem experiences from within an integrated and secure online commerce ecosystem. Travel, retail, and financial services partners can capitalize on the Collinson business&#8217;s unique size and scale to create a differentiated loyalty strategy that reinforces brand preference and delivers personalized engagement with customers.
