Black Friday weekend is still the busiest e-commerce period of the year. Last year, Black Friday deals eclipsed Cyber Monday by over 50%, breaking £9 billion in sales. The outlook for e-tailers is mixed, with research showing that 77% of UK shoppers surveyed stated they would do the majority of their festive shopping online. Economic pressures are likely to increase competition, with 80% of online shoppers expected to pay more attention to prices than previous years and 50% likely to reduce spend on prior years due to current economic uncertainty. Join our Mediaworks panel, as they discuss their predictions and planning tips for Black Friday 2023. They share their analysis and insights of last year's data from partners including Google, Microsoft and the IMRG. Identify growing trends, key tactics and actionable tips to help you maximise this critical shopping event.

Returns suck! They represent lost revenue and reverse logistics adds cost and can also impact sustainability. Returns have been rising in the past few years, IMRG found that a quarter of all consumers return between 5% and 15% of the items they buy online. Your returns strategy can also impact sales: many shoppers check the returns policy before placing an order, with 40% saying they will not order a product unless the returns period is at least 30 days. The good news? The technology has rapidly improved, with several specialist returns solutions available to merchants to automate returns management and implement a flexible policy to improve the overall returns experience for customers whilst minimising cost. In this podcast we explore what a good returns strategy looks like and tactics retailers are using to deliver the best customer experience with an affordable and scalable service. For this episode we're joined by Jonathan Poma, the CEO and Founder of Loop, a market-leading returns platform used by lots of large brands.

Mediaworks has joined forces with the UK's ecommerce association IMRG as retailers prepare for another record-breaking year of Black Friday sales.

Join experts from Mediaworks and IMRG in collaboration to discuss how you can dominate Black Friday 2022, discussing: - When you should launch your Black Friday campaign - How to turn discount hungry shoppers into long-term, loyal customers - Optimising paid advertising and managing an efficient bidding strategy to maximise opportunity - Creating effective ads by testing and learning early and often - The impact of the World Cup on peak trading time

Stock markets around the world have declined as news of a new Covid-19 variant emerged. With the UK and others banning flights from the affected southern African countries, travel and tourism shares have fallen most sharply, and we assess the potential impact on the sector with Helen Tustin, founder of Wellbeing Travel. Also in the programme, on the shopping festival Black Friday, we get a sense of how toymakers are affected by global supply chain problems from Steve Finch, founding owner of toy company Bopster. And we get wider context from Andy Mulcahy, head of strategy at the UK e-commerce association IMRG. As the World Chess Championship gets under way in Dubai, we hear about the financial side of the game from Ilya Merenzon, chief executive of World Chess. Plus, amid concern that the conflict in Ethiopia could be about to escalate, we examine how the country's economy has been affected by the ongoing dispute between Tigray state in the north and the national government. Samuel Getachew is a business journalist in Addis Ababa, and tells us how before the fighting began, Ethiopia had become something of an economic miracle. The US is threatening to kick the country out of the AGOA preferential trade programme, and Rohit Nair, vice-president of garment maker Epic Apparel explains such a step could mean the closure of his business. And we also get the perspective of Zemedeneh Negatu, global chairman of the Fairfax Africa Fund, which invests in and owns companies across Africa. Today's edition is presented by Fergus Nicoll, and produced by Joshua Thorpe and Faarea Masud.

It’s Q4, the peak trading period for many online retailers and affiliates and so we decided to record a special edition of the podcast looking ahead to some of the biggest seasonal shopping dates. Singles’ Day, Black Friday and Australia’s Click Frenzy all take place during November and therefore it seemed a good opportunity to interview some experts on each of these retail events. Rob speaks to Rick Parada at the US-Chinese online shopping site RebatesMe about Singles’ Day, Kevin interviews Grant Arnott from the website Click Frenzy in Australia, and Craig chats with Andy Mulcahy at IMRG about the evolution of Black Friday.

In the second part of our series on the subscription box economy, we look at the regional trends driving the subscription box boom. Why are boxes so popular in London and Wales? And what is the UK's most popular type of subscription box? We hear from a range of subscription box businesses including Taffy Mail, Mila and Pheebs and Letterbox Lab and ask IMRG for some expert analysis.

Essential sits down with three industry experts to discuss how retailers need to collaborate in order to take on today’s digital titans. Essential Retail’s editor, Caroline Baldwin, chats to ASOS Ventures founder and now founder of Coded Futures, Daniel Bobroff; director of IMRG, Andy Mulcahy; and MD at Criteo, John Gillan.
