Holiday shopping is in full swing and that means there are endless retail topics to discuss. That's why this week on the Modern Retail Podcast, we brought on our colleagues at the Glossy Beauty Podcast to talk about the major retail narratives we're observing. Modern Retail's editor-in-chief Cale Guthrie Weissman joined Glossy's West Coast correspondant Lexy Lebsack and senior reporter Sara Spruch-Feiner and dove into the major shopping trends dominating this holiday season. They discussed holiday sales forecasts and what that means for brands. "People will be spending a little bit more than last year," said Lebsack. 'We're set to spend almost a trillion dollars in the last two months of the year." Other topics include the rise of chaos shopping alongside new plaforms like Temu and Amazon's Haul. "I think there's a lot of high-income people spending in a very chaotic way on Tiktok Shop, and potentially that might be what Amazon is going for [with Haul]," said Spruch-Feiner. They also talked about brands marketing their products for self-gifting. "I do think that there are a lot of brands that are doing specific marketing for self-gifting," said Weissman. "And I do think that it is fitting with where we are culturally right now in the United States."

This time of year, we always start thinking about the holidays and holiday marketing.  That's why I was so excited to chat with Caroline Balinska on holiday marketing.  Here are 5 key points from my conversation with Caroline Plan in advance: One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is not planning holiday campaigns early enough. Starting at least three months in advance to set up social media posts, emails, and design imagery is not too early Focus on relevant holidays: Not all holidays are relevant to every business. It's important to pick holidays that align with your products. For instance, World Animal Day is more relevant for pet-related products than Valentine's Day. Stand out with unique content: For holiday campaigns, businesses should create fresh and themed content, including new imagery and emotional trigger words that resonate with their target audience. Leverage post-holiday opportunities: Businesses can continue benefiting from holidays even after they pass by extending promotions or using SEO strategies like Pinterest for long-term visibility. Budget for ads: Caroline advises putting ad budget behind special event days, especially niche holidays, to maximize marketing.

The conversation today is part of an ongoing partnership with the US Small Business Administration highlighting small businesses in the Shenandoah Valley as well as offering advice and resources to all small businesses. In this episode, host Janet Michael and co-host Carl Knoblock, Virginia District Director for the SBA dive into the importance of early planning for small businesses, particularly for festive events like Black Friday and the December holidays. Janet emphasizes that small businesses often get too caught up in daily operations and miss out on early preparations, leading to missed opportunities. Carl concurs, adding that many small businesses fail to recognize the need to start preparations well in advance to attract customers during peak seasons. They discuss the tendency of small businesses to underestimate consumer behavior patterns, noting that unlike small business owners, consumers do not always wait until the last minute for holiday shopping. Carl brings up an interesting point about bus tours and the older generation, who plan their shopping trips well in advance and are a lucrative market for unique, local products. The conversation then shifts to the Virginia 250th anniversary celebrations and the various opportunities it presents for small businesses and local communities. Carl reveals that there are federal funds and grants available for businesses to develop products and events tied to the celebrations. They emphasize the importance of communities collaborating to host events that can attract tourism and boost local economies. In the latter part of the episode, Janet touches upon the significance of self-promotion for small businesses. Many business owners shy away from nominating themselves for awards or promoting their community-driven efforts, which Carl believes is a missed opportunity. He explains that recognition through awards can generate free marketing and increase business. He reminds listeners that nominations are currently open for Small Business Person of the Year on the SBA website. Click here for details. Nominees from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam will compete for the title of the National Small Business Person of the Year, SBA's signature award. One from each will be selected. Nominees must demonstrate success in business as well as contributions to their local communities. Previous award winners include Superstition Meadery, Landmark Pest Management, Maui Brewing Company, Equator Coffee & Teas, Pacifica, and Missouri Star Quilt Company. The deadline for submission is December 5, 2024, at 4pm ET. National Small Business Week is May 4-10, 2025.  They talk extensively about data collection, especially the importance of tracking customer information such as zip codes. This data can provide valuable insights into where a business's customer base is located and help in targeted marketing efforts. Carl advises small businesses to utilize interns or marketing resources to analyze this data for better decision-making. They also discuss the value of having a dedicated website for a business, separate from social media accounts. While social media can be a powerful tool, a business website provides credibility and a platform for professional engagement. Wrapping up, the episode calls for small businesses to plan their marketing strategies well in advance and utilize all available resources for effective promotion. They encourage businesses to be proactive, leverage local tourism events, and not hesitate to seek recognition for their contributions to the community.
