Retail holidays - statistics & facts
Holiday season might be the busiest time of the year for retail spending, but it’s far from being the only special occasion when consumers head out to shop to celebrate. Starting in February with Valentine's Day, the year is dotted with public holidays and special events that drive retail and leisure spending. In the United States, special days like Mother's and Father's Day and Easter in the first half of the year, Labor Day and Halloween in the second half of the year are some of the most popular national holidays after Christmas. In other parts of the world too, these retail events drive increased consumer spending, with retailers and brands adjusting their marketing strategies to capitalize on them.
