The success of the holiday season can be unpredictable. National Retail Federation expects holiday sales to increase by 2-3% compared to last year. A survey by Very Well Mind reveals that 68% of Americans anticipate a positive holiday season, while 32% do not.
However, some businesses are concerned about slowing sales growth and attribute this to the impact of moderating inflation on the holiday economy, according to recent Small Business News.
