Great American Group expects consumer “frugality” to continue into holiday season

November 22, 2011 By sdcnews

(Businesswire)–If the recent back-to-school season is any indication, frugality will likely be a continued trend in consumer spending for the upcoming holiday season, according to the newly released Retail Monitor from Great American Group.

Analysts with Great American Group, a leading provider of asset disposition, valuation and appraisal services, say that early forecasts indicate that retail sales will increase less than the 4.1 percent experienced last year and essentially remain in line with inflation.

According to Mike Marchlik, National Sales & Marketing Director, consumers will wait for sales and scale back on spending, which will require retailers to continue discounting to drive sales.

“Discounting could prove to be a challenge for retailers which have already faced gross margin pressure in the face of rising acquisition costs,” Marchlik said. “Retailers will have to manage inventory levels to avoid having to discount excessively…and encourage as many full price purchases as possible.”

The complete Retail Monitor reviews industry trends within all store types including department, discount, apparel, off-price, discount, jewelry, and book stores.
