Retailers Adapt to Changing Black Friday Trends in 2025
Amid subdued discounts and a decline in online order volumes this Black Friday 2025, retailers who integrated AI technologies and offered exclusive in-store perks stood out as the notable winners.
AI and In-Store Benefits Drive Success
Retail chains leveraging AI to enhance customer experience, alongside giving unique in-store rewards, attracted more foot traffic and purchases. This hybrid approach countered the general slowdown in online sales during the big shopping event.
“Retailers that employed AI analytics and personalized in-store promotions were better positioned to engage customers and boost sales despite flat discounting trends,” industry analysts observed.
Online Orders Experience a Slowdown
Despite high anticipation, online order volumes showed signs of wavering, affected by limited discounts and overall market saturation. This trend indicates a shift in consumer behavior, with shoppers seeking more value through physical store experiences.
Shoppers Seek Tangible Benefits
Consumers increasingly favored tangible perks such as giveaways and face-to-face interactions over purely digital deals. Retailers responding to this preference by enhancing their brick-and-mortar offerings gained a competitive edge.
Retailers successfully navigated Black Friday 2025 by combining AI-driven insights with attractive in-store incentives, offsetting weaker online demand and adapting to evolving shopper expectations.
