An unpredictable year calls for an unpredictable holiday season. This week host Jennifer Kaylo Ruscin sits down with Marketing and Analytics Expert Bill Sinacore to discuss how retailers can prepare for the holiday season.

More Sale Items, More Often

Sinacore has seen up to a 20% decrease on discretionary spending due to the higher unemployment rate and uncertainty of many industries around the country.

Great Imagery
