US retailers Target and Walmart recorded higher store traffic during Amazon’s Prime Day, according to Placer.ai. Target visits rose 16.3% against its year-to-date day-of-week average on the first day, while Walmart gained 4.7%. Placer.ai said the figures showed deal-led promotions could still drive shopper visits despite weak consumer sentiment, macroeconomic uncertainty and higher fuel prices. (Supermarket News)
