'Tis the (Holiday Shopping) Season

InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast

A week away from Black Friday, holiday shopping season is in full swing, with retailers offering sales throughout November (and even prior) to entice consumers to buy gifts for loved ones - and occasionally themselves. But what is the holiday shopping outlook? Jon Gold, Vice President of Supply Chain and Customs Policy with the National Retail Federation joins us to discuss the NRF's projections, which show spending hitting a new record level in spite of some economic headwinds.
Jon also talks about the continued rise of eCommerce, how inventory is looking this year and how the pandemic not only affected consumer behavior but also retailers' supply chain strategies.
