Christmas shopping? You may need a reservation for that this year. Retail giant Target is among the businesses adding timed shopping slots to its safety measures this season, in an effort to cut down on crowds and long lines over the pandemic. Shoppers will be asked to visit a website to check whether there is a line at their local store, and to reserve a time to shop. Other measures include contactless self-checkout and expanded delivery and pickup options.

Even More Ways to Make Shopping Safer and Easier Target just announced plans to make our shopping experience even safer and easier for our team and guests this holiday season. We’ve added things like contactless payment, skipping the checkout line, and making shopping reservations if there’s a line outside your store. How cool is that? Plus we’re doubling the number of drive-up spots to make that even easier, too. These are just some of the ways we’re continuing to care for our team, our guests and our communities as we find ways to celebrate holiday traditions and discover joy.

Are consumers more safety-driven this holiday season? ?????? Target thinks so and is adding new capabilities to its stores & digital platforms, including: ? scan & go contactless checkout in Target app ?? ? MyCheckout devices allowing customers to checkout anywhere with a store associate ???? ? digital reservations to reserve your space during capacity constraints to avoid waiting in line ?? ? doubling of parking spaces for Target's Drive Up curbside service, plus eliminating barcode scanning ?? ? plus, extra staff for sanitizing the store, handing out masks, and supporting Drive Up orders ???? Target wants to be the safest place to shop while fulfilling its vision to be the easiest place to shop. Will this formula help them stay within store capacity limits while driving holiday sales? Yes, and I won't be surprised to see similar actions from other retailers. What are your thoughts? ???? https://bit.ly/37AHuIW #retail #retailtrends #COVID19 #pandemic Brandon Rael Julia Raymond Carol Spieckerman Shelley E.

Most brands never had to think about "safety" as part of their brand promise. Now it's at the top of the list.
