How we count
A brand counts as having mentioned Black Friday once one of its newsletters names it, in the subject line or the email itself. Shares are of the brands we follow that have sent us a newsletter since the start of October, and only sectors where we follow enough brands to say are shown. Discounts use the largest percentage off named in each email. The emails shown are real newsletters, as subscribers received them. The figures are worked out from every newsletter we receive, not a survey, and this page updates every hour until Christmas.
