And even more so the Christmas Music that invades shopping centers during this time.

Earlier and earlier
And Hugh Grant is not exaggerating! Indeed, the holiday season seems to lengthen from year to year, with decorations and festive music appearing earlier and earlier. A merchant strategy that is based on numerous studies confirming the positive impact of Christmas carols on consumer behavior.
