Early holiday shopping increases online spending

According to a research, U.S. consumer spending increased in October as consumers who were scared of inflation took advantage of early Christmas shopping sales and discounts.  Online spending increased 10.9% to $72.2 billion in October according to Adobe Analytics, which was on par with $72.4 billion in the same month a year earlier. Consumers are  buying  goods at the lowest prices and start shopping early for the holidays. This is as a result of decades-high inflation, rising interest rates, and the possibility of a recession in the United States. Sales of expensive items like computers and televisions increased as a result of early reductions being used to get rid of excess inventory.

According to Adobe, discounts have been as high as 17% and 15% in different categories, including as toys and electronics. According to Vivek Pandya, Lead Insights Analyst at Adobe, “In October, we did have a huge sales movement in the Amazon Prime Day event…a lot of retailers made sure they had strong competitive prices during that two day event that helped pick up expenditure.” In comparison to daily average sales in August, Christmas décor sales increased 189%, the research claims. The demand for outerwear items increased by 142% as winter approached. But since at least 2015, this is anticipated to be the weakest rate of growth for American online holiday sales. According to Adobe’s analysis, over 1 trillion visits to U.S. retail websites resulted in direct consumer transactions.
