Half of those purchases are expected to be made online. According to John Lewis, during the night sales through its website were happening at a rate of five per second, thrashing all expectations by morning.<\/p>\n<p>Black Friday burst onto the British retail scene a couple of years ago. Despite it historically being associated with the US holiday of Thanksgiving, Brits were more than happy to receive it, and have now come to expect it so much that build-up this year has been bigger than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Last year UK consumers spent \u00a33.3 billion during the four-day Black Friday weekend, according to the IMRG and Experian data. They spent \u00a31.1bn on Black Friday alone, up 35.8% from \u00a3810 million in the same period a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>But the question is, are the offers genuine? According to the consumer watchdog Which?, in the UK last year, 49% of Black Friday deals on popular electronic gadgets and home appliances could have been beaten in the three months leading up to the event, or the two months after it. It claimed that some retailers were guilty of misrepresenting the size of discounts during the event by briefly raising prices beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Black Friday could also be losing its appeal with retailers. A recent study by LCP Consulting found that 61% of UK retailers now find Black Friday to be unprofitable and unsustainable. Questioning more than 100 retailers in the UK and US, it also found that a third of UK retailers have seen returns increase over the last 12 months, and particularly following peak trading periods such as Black Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a look at some of the Black Friday deals on offer this year it\u2019s evident that some retailers are boosting their efforts, extending it to a two-week deal in some cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argos<\/strong>, for example, is running a 13-day event during which prices are promised to not go any lower, helping to remove some of the stress of Black Friday. But when stock is gone, it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n<p>The website advises: \u201cthe quietest period online was 3-4am. So set your alarms and get ready for the Black Friday Deals!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10583\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/11\/image001.png\" alt=\"image001\" width=\"690\" height=\"271\" \/>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Body Shop<\/strong>\n<section data-role=\"forward-email-subscription-container\" class=\"full-width w-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center bg-c7f2b3\">\n    \n    <div class=\"max-w-1400 w-100 form\">\n        <div class=\"text-content-container\">\n            <h2>\n                Stay Forward            <\/h2>\n            <p class=\"subtitle\">\n                Get exclusive insights into digital <br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\">media's top-trending topics delivered<br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\"> directly to your inbox.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div data-role=\"form-group\">\n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n                <form data-forward-email-form class='custom-hubspot-form' id='hubspot_form_69d0a64aa105b'>\n    <div class='d-flex input'>\n        <input type='email' class='form-control me-2 input' placeholder='Email address' aria-label='Email' name='email' required>\n        <button type='submit' class='btn_primary-filled_white'>Submit\n<\/button>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class='hubspot-status'><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<script>\njQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n    var form = $('#hubspot_form_69d0a64aa105b');\n    form.on('submit', function(event) {\n        event.preventDefault();\n\n        \/\/ Get email input value\n        var emailInput = form.find('input[name=\"email\"]');\n        var email = emailInput.val().trim();\n\n        \/\/ Required HubSpot fields\n        var portalId = '5408011';\n        var formId = 'cafa8eb8-dd43-46cc-bec7-9f87e85b1bdb';\n\n        \/\/ Prepare the data payload\n        var data = {\n            fields: [\n                {\n                    name: 'email',\n                    value: email\n                }\n            ],\n            context: {\n                pageUri: window.location.href,\n                pageName: document.title\n            },\n            submittedAt: new Date().getTime()\n        };\n\n        \/\/ Get the status element for this form\n        var statusElement = form.siblings('.forward-email-status-container');\n\n        \/\/ Send the data to HubSpot\n        fetch('https:\/\/api.hsforms.com\/submissions\/v3\/integration\/submit\/5408011\/cafa8eb8-dd43-46cc-bec7-9f87e85b1bdb', {\n            method: 'POST',\n            headers: {\n                'Content-Type': 'application\/json'\n            },\n            body: JSON.stringify(data)\n        })\n        .then(response => {\n            if (response.ok) {\n                if(statusElement) {\n                    statusElement.text('Thanks for Subscribing!');\n                    statusElement.css('color', 'green');\n                }\n\n                var userInfo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userInfo'));\n                if (userInfo) {\n                    userInfo.event = 'Form_submit';\n                    userInfo.email = email;\n                    userInfo.form_name = 'Newsletter';\n                    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n                    window.dataLayer.push(userInfo);\n                }\n\n                emailInput.val(''); \/\/ Clear the email field\n                window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('newsletter-submit'));\n            } else {\n                return response.json().then(error => {\n                    if(statusElement) {\n                        statusElement.text('Error: ' + error.message);\n                        statusElement.css({\n                            'color': 'red',\n                            'padding-top': '10px'\n                        });\n                    }\n                });\n            }\n        })\n        .catch(error => {\n            console.error('Error:', error);\n            statusElement.text(\"There was an error submitting the form.\");\n            statusElement.css({\n                'color': 'red',\n                'padding-top': '10px'\n            });\n        });\n    });\n\n    window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {\n        const isFormCallback = event.data.type === 'hsFormCallback';\n        const isFormSubmitted = event.data.eventName === 'onFormSubmitted';\n        const iscurrentForm = !!event?.data?.id ?
