In this special recast episode of Rooted in Retail, I speak with the legendary Santa Claus himself.

Santa shares invaluable advice for retailers to navigate the holiday season, emphasizing the importance of planning, keeping staff morale high, and creating a magical in-store experience.

Get ready to take notes on Santa's innovative ideas such as hosting holiday scavenger hunts, setting up AR experiences, and organizing surprise flash sales. With personalized service tips and a look into the future of retail, this episode is packed with insights to help independent retailers thrive.
