"One of the key issues we are seeing is to bring Christmas sales from December to November," said David White, the retail leader of Deloitte Australia.
"It's a great way to understand what consumer demand is all about – these are becoming more and more popular, all about creating a vibe and excitement and a buzz for buyers."
Retailers are often optimistic in full swing to Christmas, according to White, and if Black Friday does not go as expected, it changes inventory levels for Christmas, he said.
Mister. White said that Australian retailers are investing much more in their digital strategy to keep up with Amazon's new presence in the country.
It's a drop in the ocean, though most of the sales will be in the store.

Mister. White said that in the United States, 57% of total household spending is online, and in Australia online spending is only 10%.
"It's a drop in the ocean, though most of the sales will be in the store," Mr. White said.
Australia's retailer's executive director, Russell Zimmerman, said sales days will "encourage retailers to prepare for the upcoming Christmas battle that takes place during the crowded trading period."
Australia Post Service of ShopMate allows deliveries to buyers if they want to buy from retailers that do not allow shipping to Australia.
