Last year, Holly Tucker M.B.E.(website here) launched Colour Friday to kickstart a retail revolution for Christmas shoppers. So rather than taking part in the mass consumption of Black Friday, they encouraged the nation to celebrate the colour & creativity that small businesses bring instead — & buy carefully made Christmas gifts from UK independents. This year, we’re shouting even louder because did you know…

In a recent poll, half of UK small business owners said they’re genuinely concerned that this will be their last Christmas trading.
Carbon emissions generated from Black Friday online sales alone are equivalent to 215 flights from London to Sydney.
89% of shoppers reported finding Black Friday highly stressful.
A quarter of Brits surveyed said they regretted their Christmas Black Friday buys.

Added to these findings, Which? suggest only 14% of deals on Black Friday offer a genuine discount - & that the best bargains can actually be found in the lead up.

We also love this quote from Martin Lewis C.B.E.
"If you were going to buy it anyway & it is half price, you've saved 50%
If you weren't going to buy it, but do cos it's half price, you've wasted 100%"

Building a business isn’t easy at the best of times, but this year has been especially tough. But do you know what we are not alone! We have a whole community standing shoulder to shoulder & ready to change things for the better. Let’s show the world the positive difference we can make together.
