NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–October 25, 2022–<\/p>\n
Markacy<\/a>a digital strategy and marketing firm based in New York City, launched its Holiday Marketing Forecast 2022<\/a>. Markacy works with leading brands to better align marketing investments with P&L results. The report is an assessment of various factors intended to help brands address unique challenges and capitalize on new opportunities during the 2022 holiday season.<\/p>\n Tucker Matheson<\/a>managing partner and co-founder of Markacy said, “Holidays 2020 and 2021 saw abnormal increases in e-commerce traffic and sales due to the global pandemic. At Markacy, we forecast only single-digit growth this year in e-commerce sales as retail shopping returns to full force and consumers consider macroeconomic factors and their impact on spending.”<\/p>\n Thereport<\/a>includes trends, analysis and recommendations such as:<\/p>\n \u25cf Due to the observed year-over-year decline in Meta performance, brands must leverage more traditional marketing channels to stay competitive during the holiday season.<\/p>\n \u25cf Direct mail, TV, CTV, out-of-home, audio and direct buys with publications have been the main beneficiaries of budget changes as brands focus on new channels and data sources for prospecting new customers.<\/p>\n \u25cf While brands focused on revenue growth and new customer acquisition at the expense of profitability in 2020 and 2021, brands will be more bottom-line focused heading into the new year.<\/p>\n \u25cf Brands will actively manage inventory to eliminate high inventory or overstocked items to reduce inventory overhead by 2023.<\/p>\n Chris Jones<\/a>managing partner and co-founder of Markacy added, \u201cWith macroeconomic factors influencing consumer spending, we are advising clients to maximize the 2022 holiday season, including leveraging strategic promotions to sell through excess inventory and capture incremental sales. Currently, we’re still forecasting e-commerce sales growth next year, albeit at more modest levels, but we think it’s important to remain aggressive in the near term as long as demand remains relatively strong.”<\/p>\n About Markacy<\/p>\n Markacy is a digital strategy firm that helps DTC brands launch, grow and scale by developing and executing multi-channel strategies.
