Retailers in various regions are preparing for seasonal shifts in consumer activity. In Comodoro Rivadavia and Monclova, merchants are anticipating sales increases driven by upcoming holidays such as Halloween, Day of the Dead, and Christmas, with some expecting growth of up to 20% in the final quarter.

Concurrently, major retail chains in Argentina and Spain are launching aggressive promotional campaigns to address shifting spending patterns. In Argentina, supermarkets have introduced significant discounts on home and kitchen appliances to counter reported declines in mass consumption and supermarket sales. In Spain, retailers have launched autumn catalogs focused on affordable household items to attract budget-conscious shoppers.
