The platform recorded 11.6 billion communications interactions between Friday, 29 November, and Monday, 2 December, representing a 41% increase compared to last year.
The data highlights a growing preference for conversational experiences, where customers can seamlessly complete entire journeys — from browsing to purchasing — on a single channel. This year, SMS, email, and WhatsApp together accounted for 5.5 billion interactions. Notably, email interactions saw a substantial 94% increase compared to 2023.
The data further revealed a notable increase in interactions on Saturday, 30 November, and Sunday, 1 December, with over 5.1 billion interactions recorded up from 3 billion during the same period in 2023. This trend highlights the growing efforts of businesses and brands to engage cost-conscious consumers beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday alone.

Moreover, our data shows that Infobip helped businesses and brands complete successful and prompt consumer journeys and commercial transactions without fail.”
