The New York Times has published a photo report on the front page: Manhattan: The Holiday Shopping Season Has Officially Started. Last Friday, consumers in Manhattan took to the streets, with the "X Generation" group ready to spend but also feeling a bit of chill from retailers.
During Black Friday and the subsequent holiday shopping season, major retailers have launched various promotions to attract consumers to purchase holiday goods, covering multiple categories such as clothing, electronics, and home goods, with discounts and offers available across the board.
Consumers of the "X Generation" stated that they focus more on value for money when shopping, and prioritize products that meet their own needs, without blindly pursuing discounts. This group's purchasing decisions are relatively rational, and they pay more attention to the quality and practicality of the products.
Some retailers revealed that the consumer traffic during this year's holiday shopping season has slightly recovered compared to last year, but the average spending per customer has decreased slightly, indicating that people are still maintaining a certain level of caution in their consumption.
