SINGAPORE, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls, today announced its predictions for the busiest shopping days of the 2023 holiday season. The annual predictions for the global top busiest shopping days were compiled by Sensormatic Solutions retail traffic consulting and analytics group.
"Retailers around the world are likely to have another strong holiday season this year," said Tony D’Onofrio, president at Sensormatic Solutions. "Those looking to make the most of it can use our predictions as a guide—but it’s critical that retailers also leverage internal data and analytics tools to refine their approach to promotions, staffing, and customer experience in the coming months. It’s this additional insight that will put businesses two steps ahead entering the New Year."
"Shoppers in different countries and regions have their own habits and retailers will need to tailor their strategies accordingly to capitalise on the holiday season to come. For example, unlike most of the world, the majority of the busiest shopping days in Australia and New Zealand will be happening on weekdays, instead of weekends. In other parts of APAC, shoppers are expected to start their in-store shopping later compared to previous years," said Daren Ng, Vice President & General Manager of Asia Pacific at Sensormatic Solutions.
Predictions for APAC’s busiest days are as follows:
Australia: Tuesday, December 26 – Boxing Day Mainland China: Sunday, December 31 – New Year’s Eve Hong Kong: Sunday, December 24 – Christmas Eve New Zealand: Tuesday, December 26 – Boxing Day Singapore: Sunday, December 24 – Christmas Eve South Korea: Sunday, December 24 – Christmas Eve
