Holiday 2023

A Skittish Consumer Comes Out For the Holidays

With a looming mortgage cliff, a savvy and stretched shopper shows a bit of YOLO attitude and shows up for retailers with the right

Each quarter, Retail Council of Canada surveys members from coast to coast to bring you the latest news on the retail industry’s performance across Canada. The Retail Conditions Report provides members with a retail C-suite perspective on valuable, real-time insight into consumer behaviour, best practices in retailing, trends, and economic conditions.

Our Holiday report focuses on retailers’ analysis for the period of September-November 2023. Our findings show that, overall, the Black Friday/Cyber Monday retail event either met or exceeded expectations for retailers. While both Friday and Monday could have been more spectacular, particularly Cyber Monday, the event as a whole delivered positive results.
