It may be the dog days of summer, but retailers are already busy planning for a holiday season geared toward experiential, but less expensive, gifting.
The new forecast from Salesforce, released Tuesday (July 20), also predicts that logistical challenges could pose a $200 billion retail headwind in the second half of the year.
The issue this year is on inbound logistics — such as a shortage of shipping containers and delays at ports — rather than last-mile delivery, which delayed 700 million packages in 2020.
