eBook Download: 6 Holiday Spenders Buying in Q4 2021

Welcome to the “most wonderful time of the year” for many brands and retailers. According to Forbes, US holiday retail sales in 2021 are predicted to increase 2.7% to $1.093 trillion. And e-commerce will account for a record 18.9% of all holiday retail sales. While 2020 brought many changes to the typical buying and selling cycle (among other things), some oddities from last year’s holiday spenders (and the entire holiday season) will stick around.

For example, with incomes and leisure spending unstable throughout 2020, many retailers kicked off their Black Friday deals as early as October and November. And consumers took advantage of it. In Q4 2021, more businesses will offer these early deals — not only so shoppers can beat the crowds, but to combat continued supply chain issues and the shipping delays common during the holidays.  

Additionally, the buy-now-pickup-in-store trend (adorably shortened to BOPIS in the retail sector) will also stick around in 2021. In fact, the National Retail Federation found that BOPIS improved the customer experience for 70% of surveyed consumers by increasing convenience. And 90% of those surveyed customers are more likely to choose a retailer based on convenience.

Check out some teaser info on the six holiday spenders highlighted in our Q4 eBook.
