The holiday season is around the corner, and consumers are expected to spend big this year. In 2021, US retail sales grew by 16.1%–the fastest growth rate in more than 20 years! And this upward trend is only predicted to continue. According to eMarketer, holiday retail sales are expected to reach $1.26 trillion this year.

We expect 2022 holiday retail sales to increase 3.3% to $1.262 trillion, with brick-and-mortar increasing 0.9% to $1.026 trillion and eCommerce climbing 15.5% to $235.86 billion.

With this huge opportunity to gain profitable revenue, how can you ensure your retail business is prepared? In this blog post, we’ll share how GoFormz can boost your sales and empower your team this holiday season.

Streamline Online Orders

Nearly all shoppers will buy something online this holiday season. According to Google, only 4% of U.S. shoppers didn’t use digital channels for their holiday shopping in 2021. And with the rise in competition this year, it’s important to make your online orders as convenient and frictionless as possible.
