The Boxing Day and January sales season, lasting until around the 25th January, significantly boosts footfall across key retail destinations in the UK, with notable increases at Canary Wharf, Westfield London and Battersea Power Station. This period, driven by post holiday shopping momentum and considerable discounts, often draws higher crowds than an average month throughout the year.

Our retail destinations

Canary Wharf sees a 6% rise1 in footfall during this period compared to an average month, as office workers and holiday shoppers flock to its retail and dining offerings, taking advantage of year-end deals. 

Westfield London has a 6% increase2 in visitor numbers during this time, likely due to its vast selection of high end and everyday brands attracting bargain hunters across all age groups. 

Battersea Power Station experiences the highest surge, with a 13% increase3 in footfall over this period as it becomes a hub for shoppers looking for holiday promotions alongside its dining and entertainment experiences. 

With increased footfall throughout the Boxing Day and January sales period, advertising across our Digital out of home (DOOH) screens at major retail destinations like Canary Wharf, Westfield Stratford City, Westfield London, Battersea Power Station and St James Quarter in Edinburgh becomes strategically advantageous for your brand.

Why book your campaign during Boxing Day and January sales? 

  • Higher footfall means greater reach: the influx of shoppers increases the audience exposed to OOH advertisements, maximising impact 
  • Intent to purchase: people visiting retail destinations during these peak shopping times are more likely to be in a buying mindset, making them highly receptive to promotions. Your campaign can effectively target this audience with timely messages, encouraging immediate purchases or driving them to specific stores 

During this time, advertising across our retail network capitalises on the increased footfall, amplifying brand presence and driving sales by directly reaching a motivated, high volume audience.
