Black Friday failed to deliver a double-digit surge in online sales growth, while high street shopping visits unexpectedly rose, according to industry figures. Online purchases climbed by 6.7% compared to last year -- but this fell well short of a forecast for 25% and was a big slowdown compared with a rise of 31% in 2015. Footfall was up by 2%, with high street growth at 2.8%.
