Episode description
Economic conditions in different world regions and countries will impact how consumers spend their money this holiday season. Consumers in North America, Europe and some part of the Asia-Pacific region are approaching this holiday season with a more positive outlook than consumers in Latin America. As the holiday buying season becomes continually stretched, online shopping records will most likely be broken. However, at the same time, there are interesting counter-trends as many consumers look to protect their enjoyment of seasonal holiday shopping.
