Many of the highest GMV days took place <em>after<\/em> the sales window. What does that mean for Black Friday, and the rest of the holiday season?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-learned-from-october-2025-nbsp\">What we learned from October 2025&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.walmart.com\/news\/2025\/09\/23\/walmart-deals-delivered-kick-off-the-season-with-early-savings-october-7-12-no-membership-required\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">opened its October event to everyone<\/a> (with a head start for Walmart+), and Target deepened member-led offers. This broad access framed the holiday season\u2019s opening moves.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2025\/10\/09\/3164227\/0\/en\/AMAZON-PRIME-BIG-DEAL-DAYS-EARLY-READ-RESULTS-ARE-IN-CONSUMERS-FOCUSING-ON-HOUSEHOLD-ESSENTIALS-NUMERATOR-REPORTS.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon buyers focused on everyday essentials<\/a> with 58% saying they were satisfied with the deals, 23% saying they already purchased gifts, and 84% plan to buy holiday items on Amazon in the next three months. October sales, in other words, were the first round of the peak holiday shopping season, with shoppers starting early, but planning on more shopping to do. This is another sign that shoppers aren\u2019t responding to urgency-driven hype the way they used to. They&#8217;re shopping on their own terms, watching closely, waiting longer, and buying based on intent, not impulse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoppers plan, retailers widen the window, and mobile and agentic AI set the terms. Here are some of the biggest patterns we saw in October\u2019s sales push:.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Demand is real, but disciplined. <\/strong>Forecasts call for a sizable holiday spend, driven by mobile and a fast increase in AI-assisted shopping traffic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/retail-consumer\/us-holiday-online-sales-growth-slow-economic-uncertainty-adobe-analytics-2025-10-06\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">up 520% year over year<\/a>. Shoppers are doing more research in less time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Access beats exclusivity. <\/strong>Walmart\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.walmart.com\/news\/2025\/09\/23\/walmart-deals-delivered-kick-off-the-season-with-early-savings-october-7-12-no-membership-required\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no membership required<\/a>\u201d positioning and Target\u2019s member perks ran in parallel with Amazon\u2019s event, giving shoppers many options&nbsp; rather than anchoring them to one singular price drop&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>October is a staging ground. <\/strong>Reuters and Adobe flag October\u2019s Amazon event as a multi-billion-dollar catalyst that pulls forward&nbsp; holiday spend without exhausting demand<strong>s<\/strong>. The shopping that started with October sales<strong> <\/strong>is expected to stretch longer, not be done earlier.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Category mix matters. <\/strong>Numerator\u2019s early read shows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numerator.com\/press\/amazon-prime-big-deal-days-early-read-results-are-in-consumers-focusing-on-household-essentials-numerator-reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">baskets heavy on household essentials alongside selective gifting.<\/a> Consumers are being mindful about what they spend.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoppers are comparing across channels, pacing their purchases, and prioritizing convenience and trust. They check prices, delivery windows, and return policies before they buy. With Rithum, that behavior works in your favor: pricing, promises, and product details stay consistent across every touchpoint. Your returns policy doesn\u2019t change from one channel to the next. And when the market shifts, you shift with it\u2014because Rithum connects marketplace data, retail media, and fulfillment in real time. One update moves across platforms, so you can reallocate spend or inventory seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-holiday-2025-retail-strategy-next-steps\">Holiday 2025 retail strategy: next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.adobe.com\/news\/downloads\/pdfs\/2025\/10\/100625-adobe-holiday-forecast-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adobe<\/a> expects U.S. online holiday spend to reach $253.4B, with mobile driving a majority share (56.1%) and buy now, pay later (BNPL) adding another $20.2B\u2014evidence that convenience and flexibility, not just markdowns, will shape conversion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>October sales set the tone for the season. Now is the time to stay consistent and make sure you\u2019re keeping the same price, promise, and product facts everywhere. Push what is already selling and remove the friction that shoppers flagged. Start here:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plan promotions around what shoppers actually want a<\/strong>t different times, instead of relying on the same event-driven discounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Adjust product mixes and creative in real time <\/strong>to highlight what\u2019s trending or to support categories that need a lift.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Connect messaging and offers across marketplaces, retail media, <\/strong>and owned channels so shoppers get a consistent experience wherever they buy. (Most teams are already shifting where they show up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rithum.com\/resources\/commerce-under-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">91% of retail leaders and 84% of brands<\/a> changed their marketing channel mix in the last year.)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use first-party data to personalize offers <\/strong>and reduce dependence on paid ads.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Measure success by long-term value <\/strong>don\u2019t focus on short-term sales spikes.<strong> <\/strong>Repeat customers, lifetime spend, and loyalty are the your better long-term value drivers..&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Partner with marketplaces and vendors <\/strong>to build limited-time experiences that create excitement and reach new audiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Re-engage peak-season buyers <\/strong>after the event with thoughtful follow-ups that turn one-time shoppers into loyal customers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Put delivery dates and a clean returns promise <\/strong>on the page. Return policies are a decision filter at scale. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rithum.com\/resources\/returns-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">41% say the returns policy influences where they buy<\/a> \u2014 so make the promise visible and easy to use.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>October shows that the 2025 shopper is steady, selective, and ready to buy when the facts are clear. Keep the same price, promise, and product story everywhere, make the mobile experience flawless, and turn returns into trust.
