This year, Thanksgiving has celebrated a week afterward than in 2018, which is going to make for a more condensed, and possibly more frantic, selling period.

What will be important for retailers to track is whether the early discounts will drive continued retail growth overall, or if they have induced consumers to spend their holiday budgets earlier,”
