Holiday Season Secrets to Retail Success
The holiday season is in full swing. And retail businesses must keep a laser focus so as to embrace the busiest period of the year.

In a recent study by National Retail Federation in 2019, the holiday season accounts for 20% of annual sales for retailers, and it is often responsible for up to 30% of some individual retailers’ total sales. This means that even one small slip-up during the peak season can affect annual revenues.  Yet other than the huge opportunity, the consequent challenges are less than optimal. Long lines of grumpy customers, overheated hotline, and groups of the less acquainted seasonal workforce, all seem to have poised some weight on the retailers.

Under such circumstances, modernized technology and collaboration tools are needed to help businesses achieve retail success and drive maximum revenues.
