Trend Report 10.11.22

This week we heard from Lindsey Colton about #ShopperMarketing and #Retail trends.

We’re just a few weeks into fall and retailers already have Holiday promotions in full swing. This year, both Target and Walmart rolled out record early announcements touting upcoming savings opportunities for cost conscious consumers. On the other hand, REI confirmed they will officially be closing their doors on Black Friday permanently. As part of their “Opt Outside” movement, all employees of their 178 stores, its distribution locations, call centers, and headquarters will have a paid day off and be encouraged to do anything else besides shopping.
