Episode notes
Extended Summer Sales Boost
- Consumers are pulling back and hunting for deals during the summer sales events like Amazon Prime Day.
- Extending these shopping events from two to four days helps retailers attract higher sales by competing longer for consumer attention.
Retailers Stretch Sales Duration
- Retailers have extended their sales to multiple days: Target for 7 days, Walmart for 6.
- This stretch intensifies competition and gives consumers more chances to find deals before tariffs kick in.
Prime Day Moves Ahead of Tariffs
- Retailers moved Prime Day up to July 9th, aligning with the tariff deadline to preempt price increases.
- Consumers are motivated to buy before potential tariff-driven inflation hits prices.
