Michigan.com’s client development strategist Blair Munro asks: “How is your business preparing for the all-important fourth quarter?” Google has released some early insights of what to look out for this coming year. Some highlights are:

  1. Shoppers will spend even more time this year researching holiday purchases.
  2. Did you know: last year mobile influenced $1 TRILLION of all retail sales?
  3. Shoppers will begin their hunt for the perfect gift before Black Friday.
  4. Brand loyalty is not dictating how shoppers buy. Many shoppers will be open to trying new brands and stores this holiday season.
  5. Video will have a heavy influence on the holiday shoppers' path to purchase.
