The 2026 Foot Traffic Pivot:

Navigating Macro Uncertainty and the New Discretionary Divide

ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 36 minutes

Retailers in 2026 are facing a "perfect storm" of macroeconomic pressure. While the labor market remains stable, a recent surge in gasoline prices has effectively put pressure on American consumer’s behavior. Visitation patterns are shifting: shopping trips are becoming more consolidated, and the gap between "need-to-have" and "nice-to-have" retail is widening.

Join us for an in-depth analysis of real-time foot traffic data and consumer sentiment as we break down how to maintain loyalty and conversion in a high-cost, high-selectivity environment.
