The 2024 holiday season showed a clear shift in consumer behavior: Black Friday and Cyber Monday are no longer confined to a single weekend. According to the New York Post, many retailers launched Black Friday promotions well before November 29. U.S. retail sales for the period were projected at $75 billion, a 5% increase from the prior year.
This trend highlights two realities:
- Consumers start shopping earlier and expect competitive pricing long before traditional sales events.
- Retailers must react quickly to competitor moves in order to capture attention and protect market share.
