Stay Ahead of the Holiday.
Retail Surge Support Built for Peak Season.
The holiday season is the busiest (and often the most stressful) time of year for retailers. Price changes come in waves, BOPIS and curbside pickup support surges, in-store displays need constant attention, and by January, “Returnuary” can leave stores buried in returns and clearance resets.
That’s where SASR comes in. 25 years of holiday merchandising execution, a nationwide W-2 workforce, and technology that keeps you connected in real time. We help retailers keep shelves shoppable, prices accurate, and customer experiences seamless, store by store, market by market.
Keep Holiday Price Changes Accurate
Nothing frustrates shoppers faster than price mismatches. Our merchandising teams ensure electronic shelf labels (ESLs) and paper tags stay in sync, with real-time photo proof and exception summaries. You’ll always know what’s been updated– and where.
Support for BOPIS and Curbside Pickup
Omnichannel demand surges late in the season. SASR’s Omnichannel Pods streamline staging lanes, backroom pulls, and hot-SKU facings so orders move quickly and stores remain shoppable. Live dashboards give you visibility into order flow and readiness.
Get Endcaps and Retail Media Right
Endcaps, monitors, and demos hit tight deadlines during the holidays. Our execution teams install, verify, and re-supply to spec, while providing brand-ready photos you can share with partners. Learn more about our merchandising support services.
Recover Faster in “Returnuary”
January doesn’t have to derail momentum. Our Returnuary Pods handle returns, RTV, clearance, and store remodel and recovery support, helping stores get back on plan quickly. Daily photo proof keeps central teams in the loop every step of the way.

Retail Surge Support for 2025
The busiest shopping months of the year can also be the most challenging. Stores are balancing price changes, omnichannel fulfillment, high-traffic events, and merchandising activations all at once. Without the right workforce in place, it can feel impossible to keep shelves shoppable and customers satisfied. That is why having dependable retail surge support is essential.
Why Retailers Need Extra Support
The end of the year brings a unique set of challenges:
Price accuracy under pressure. Promotions and clearance events often change daily, leaving store teams scrambling to keep signage and shelf labels updated.
Omnichannel demand. BOPIS and curbside pickup surge during the season, requiring dedicated labor to keep staging lanes organized and orders moving.
Retail media activations. Endcaps, monitors, and brand displays must be installed quickly, restocked on time, and verified for partners.
January recovery. Once the season ends, “Returnuary” often leaves stores buried in returns and RTVs while trying to reset for the new year.
