“Retailers around the world are likely to have another strong holiday season this year,” said Tony D’Onofrio, president at Sensormatic Solutions. “Those looking to make the most of it can use our predictions as a guide—but it’s critical that retailers also leverage internal data and analytics tools to refine their approach to promotions, staffing, and customer experience in November and December. It’s this additional insight that will put businesses two steps ahead entering the New Year.”
On average, the top 10 busiest shopping days in
“Historical data will be extremely valuable for retailers preparing their 2023 holiday strategies,” said Brian Field, global leader of retail consulting and analytics at Sensormatic Solutions, whose team predicts the top busiest days of the holiday season. “Christmas Day falls on a Monday this year, so retailers can look to data from 2017—the last time the holiday fell on Monday—to tailor their strategies. Our national data indicates that the busiest days of the season are likely to be more concentrated toward the end of the year thanks to this timing. However, in addition to the list below, we expect Veterans’ Day to experience higher traffic than usual as it falls on a Saturday and history indicates a traffic bump when it does so.”
