Retail trends always keep on changing. With\u00a0digital transformation taking charge\u00a0in all the industries, retail is no exception. Retail trends during the holiday season especially, are interesting to study.<\/p>\n
Following are some visualizations around these\u00a0trends in retail during\u00a0the holiday season. The Claim<\/strong> of all of them is that the sales rise high during the holiday season in retail. The Audience<\/strong> is different players in the retail sector.<\/p>\n Following is first of the set, which shows number breakup based on key holidays. This gives a good picture of how much is spent during different holidays.<\/p>\n https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0Bzau8FgD0T1AUmRTLTQ1cFdEZXM<\/a><\/p>\n Things missing in this visualization:<\/p>\n Incomplete data<\/span>: The year of the data is not mentioned in the source which leaves the data incomplete.<\/p>\n Unreadability<\/span>: As many figures are mentioned in the pie chart along with multiple colors, it’s difficult to read the data.<\/p>\n Following is another way\u00a0to look at the data where it shows the overall retail sales over the years and also shows the specific percentage of e-Commerce\u00a0in the overall sales. This gives a good picture of the total sales trend in retail with a focus on eCommerce.<\/p>\n https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0Bzau8FgD0T1AQnBRUmJta2FZTWM <\/a><\/p>\n Context<\/span>: One thing missing in the above data is, it doesn’t mention if its US specific data or any other countries are involved as well, that would help put these values in context.<\/p>\n Following is another such visualization in the same category. This\u00a0 demonstrates the sales during holiday time along with the YOY % increase over time. However this focuses on the Online sales. The warrant in this case is Forrester which makes it more genuine.<\/p>\n https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0Bzau8FgD0T1AM0RnNWxqZEs0OXM<\/a><\/p>\n Things that could be done better:<\/p>\n I feel if all the above data points are put together if would give a good picture of the retail sales trend.<\/p>\n References<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Silicon Alley Insider Chart of the day<\/p>\n https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/images\/view;_ylt=AwrTcYR9jR5ZTV8APKwunIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTIyZmFoZWxnBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1nBG9pZAMyNGQ5M2IzYjRkZGFhOGEzNzhhM2FhNmIyMWRlYjYwNgRncG9zAzYEaXQDYmluZw–?.origin=&back=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fyhs%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dholiday%2Bsales%2Bgraphs%26n%3D60%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dyhs-mozilla-002%26fr2%3Dsb-top-images.search.yahoo.com%26hsimp%3Dyhs-002%26hspart%3Dmozilla%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D6&w=610&h=404&imgurl=s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F80%2Fbb%2F65%2F80bb6502df47c107be613ce4f9605017.jpg&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fliberteks%2F2017-smb-success-trends%2F&size=18.0KB&name=Retail+%3Cb%3EHoliday%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3ESales%3C%2Fb%3E%2C+Explained+in+5+%3Cb%3EGraphs%3C%2Fb%3E&p=holiday+sales+graphs&oid=24d93b3b4ddaa8a378a3aa6b21deb606&fr2=sb-top-images.search.yahoo.com&fr=yhs-mozilla-002&tt=Retail+%3Cb%3EHoliday%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3ESales%3C%2Fb%3E%2C+Explained+in+5+%3Cb%3EGraphs%3C%2Fb%3E&b=0&ni=144&no=6&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=11saqpief&sigb=15j33p5de&sigi=12f22raio&sigt=120clcnqq&sign=120clcnqq&.crumb=nVfANCsALA\/&fr=yhs-mozilla-002&fr2=sb-top-images.search.yahoo.com&hsimp=yhs-002&hspart=mozilla<\/a><\/p>\n CBRE 2016 Holiday<\/b> Sales<\/b> Chart<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Retail trends always keep on changing.
