Rakuten Rewards

A new survey by Rakuten x Harris Poll reveals a significant disconnect between consumer spending and retailer strategies this holiday season. Despite 45% of shoppers planning to spend less and an overwhelming 81% of shoppers not intending to increase their budgets, 80% of marketers remain confident in hitting their sales goals. With a limited pool of consumer dollars this year, retailers must rethink their approach if they want to sleigh this season.
