Target is implementing an aggressive pricing strategy for the upcoming holiday season. The company expects seasonal sales growth to accelerate to between 4.55% and 4.8%. Management lowered prices on more than 10,000 items. October Deal Days will feature discounts of up to 40%.
This strategy aims to drive sales volume and capture market share from Amazon and Walmart. Target leverages its omnichannel fulfillment capabilities by using stores as hubs for digital sales.
