Black Friday Cyber Monday looked like a win for Australian eCommerce. Traffic was higher, orders increased, and sales days hit record levels. But when the dust settled, many brands realised something uncomfortable. Profits did not follow revenue. In this episode of eCommerce Australia, Ryan Martin is joined by Kat Ramos, Senior Growth Executive at Profit Peak, to unpack exclusive Australian BFCM data from Profit Peak’s newly released BFCM 2025 Playbook, and why so many brands sold more but kept less. This is a must-listen for Shopify store owners planning for BFCM 2026 and beyond. Kat breaks down the key findings from thousands of Australian orders, including: 📈 300% uplift in daily net sales, Aussies were ready to spend 🧲 426% increase in new customers, acquisition was aggressive 🔻 16% drop in contribution margin, discounts and ad spend took their toll 💸 New customers cost significantly more to acquire than returning ones ⚠️ Many brands celebrated revenue before seeing their credit card bills The result was busy stores, stressed cash flow, and thinner margins. This episode goes beyond post-mortems and into what winning brands did differently, including: Why blanket site-wide discounts hurt more than they help How to discount C and D stock without damaging your brand Using bundles, mystery gifts, and AOV levers instead of deeper discounts Why contribution margin beats ROAS as your North Star metric How AI-driven product discovery delivered up to 350% higher contribution profit per session The conversation also dives into how customer behaviour is shifting fast: TikTok as the top product discovery channel for Aussie shoppers Google still dominating first-click acquisition Email and direct traffic closing the sale Early signals that AI-powered discovery will play a major role by 2026 If your Shopify store relies heavily on Meta and Google alone, this episode will challenge your channel mix.
