Description

Targets holiday sales projections are grim, with a predicted decline despite aggressive promotions. The retailer, catering to upper-middle-class shoppers, experienced a sales drop last year and expects less foot traffic this holiday season. Target is introducing twenty thousand new holiday items and slashing prices to attract budget-conscious consumers amidst inflation and rising cost of living. However, the company anticipates a small sales decline due to economic factors such as white-collar layoffs and record-high household debt. Targets core customers are being more cautious with their spending, leading to a focus on loss minimization rather than significant growth this holiday season.
