Major retailers have accelerated holiday shopping this October with deep discounts and special events at Walmart, Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Costco, Kohl’s, and Staples.
Key takeaways
-
Holiday sales start earlier: Retailers have moved up major discount events, with Walmart, Amazon, and Target launching deals weeks before Black Friday to attract cautious shoppers.
-
Tariffs impact pricing: Economic worries and potential shortages are pushing consumers to shop sooner, while retailers warn that tariffs could result in higher prices for select seasonal goods.
-
Membership and loyalty perks: Exclusive incentives like early access and rewards are central to this year’s promotions, with programs like Amazon Prime, Walmart+, Target Circle, and Staples Easy Rewards featuring extra savings and priority benefits.
