Atlantans ahead of national holiday shopping curve

The holiday shopping season doesn't have to be unsustainable.

A Deloitte survey looking at how holiday shoppers plan to spend their money during the season finds Atlanta stands out as being a bit savvier than the average American.

WABE’s Jim Burress spoke to Deloitte’s Jean-Emmanuel Biondi about what specifically the study’s findings say about Atlanta shoppers.

Biondi said the survey shows that shoppers in Atlanta are getting more of their holiday purchases done earlier, and plan to take advantage of “key events” such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
