Consumers and Holiday Commerce – What’s In Store?

With a challenging economic outlook, shoppers are looking more closely at their holiday budgets. Whether looking for early "Black Friday" deals, deep merchant discounts or other opportunities to save, consumers are looking for deals. This opens the door to both FIs and loyalty programs to supplement with offers that will entice and delight. 

In this podcast, you will hear from experts Ed Wogan, SVP and Chief Merchant officer, and Manuel Catedral, VP Business Development, on the trends they see changing the way shoppers will act this upcoming season.
