Dr. Patricia Huddleston is back on the show this week to talk about sales projections for the upcoming holiday season and what it might mean to retailers and shoppers. She says the projections are already out, earlier than in previous years especially because shoppers have started their holiday shopping ALREADY and anticipate continued supply chain issues. Employee shortages will certainly affect many dimensions of holiday shopping, including package delivery. Provide realistic expectations on delivery. It may be helpful to some customers to provide some home décor ideas for gift givers, too!
