Black Friday 2021 In Numbers

Phew 😅

Another massive Black Friday is over and we could not syndicate content across the world for the biggest brands without our world-class team.

We are so proud of the Flixmedia family for pulling together and working around the clock to create the best Black Friday possible for our clients.

This year, we helped some of the world's biggest brands sell over £400m worth of stock, syndicating over 941 million pieces of content across our retailer network!

On the largest (and most important) shopping day of the year, brands and retailers trusted Flixmedia to deliver, and this year content syndicated by us contributed to over 1.7m Add-to-Carts and over 29 million sessions too!

What were the top-performing product categories?

In 2020, Computing and Gaming were the biggest winners as we endured lockdown and had to keep ourselves occupied!

Interestingly, this year we have a new set of winners, including TVs, smartphones and toys!

We are on a mission to turn browsers into buyers so witnessing the effect of rich media and effective content syndication to Add-to-Carts is incredibly important to us. 

Surprisingly enough, when looking at top categories by the number of Add-to-Carts, toys, washing machines and TVs come out on top. 

This proves that once again effective content syndication can have a huge impact on a brand’s bottom line, driving more sales year on year.
