What is Colour Friday?
IT’S ABOUT BRINGING JOY & SHOPPING SMALL
Holly & Co launched Colour Friday over four years ago to encourage the nation to shop through their values on Black Friday and support small businesses instead. They want to celebrate the wealth of colour and creativity that this talented community brings to the UK. It’s shocking that in 2023, as a nation, we spent…
£13.3 billion on Black Friday¹ despite the fact that…
Almost half of UK shoppers said they rarely or never used their Black Friday purchases, almost a third said they regretted buying them² and more than half expressed concerns about the negative environmental impact of overconsumption during the sale period.³
Plus, 1 in 3 small to medium sized businesses fear closure by the end of 2024⁴ and small businesses generate around £2.4 trillion a year for the UK economy and employ 16.7 million people.⁵
Imagine the difference we could make if we redistributed the £13.3bn we spent with billionaires each Black Friday and supported small businesses instead!
