Unleash the shopping frenzy with Click Frenzy: The Main Event

Click Frenzy: The Main Event will take place from 24-26 October with discounts and special offers of up to 99%. 

This annual shopping extravaganza has taken the Australian retail scene by storm since its inception in 2012. Now in its 11th year, it shows no signs of slowing down. As more and more Australian shoppers look out for cheaper alternatives, sale events, such as Click Frenzy, will continue to drive online purchases. 

 

Website traffic surge

One of the most remarkable statistics associated with Click Frenzy is the phenomenal surge in website traffic. Retailers who participated in last year’s event experienced an incredible 70% increase in website traffic on the first day of the event. This surge is a testament to the event’s popularity and the excitement it generates among shoppers.

Last year, over 500 Australian retailers joined the Click Frenzy, offering over 4,000 deals and discounts across various categories, including fashion, tech, toys, home, and more. 

 

Early bird catches the clicks

Compared to numbers during the pandemic, Click Frenzy has also continued to perform well in 2022:

• 69%+ Clicks
• 196%+ Pub Comm
• 182%+ Order Value

Click Frenzy doesn’t wait until the last minute to kick off the excitement. Articles and promotions are released as early as a month before the event, creating a buzz and anticipation among shoppers. 

This early release strategy helps build momentum and ensures a steady increase in website traffic as the event draws closer.
