In an effort to boost sales and gain market share, Target has sealed multiple partnership deals with brands from various sectors, including a collaboration with the fitness company Peloton and a multi-year partnership with the apparel brand Champion.

Just this year, the retailer introduced 2,000 new wellness products from Target-exclusive, national, and emerging brands. It also increased its Target Plus portfolio to over 1,500 partners and grew its marketplace.

With all these changes and improvements, Target aims to drive more than $15 billion in sales growth by 2030, as the company said in an announcementunveiling its multi-year growth strategy.

Target encourages customers to shop by launching a spring campaign

Target (TGT) stated its customers' willingness to spend on newness in its latest earnings call, despite the current softening in consumer spending due to inflation and economic uncertainty. It claims it has seen the highest sales when new seasonal products are released, like during Valentine's Day, which led to record-high sales.

"Shoppers turn to Target for the most important seasons and celebrations in their lives — and for all the small moments of discovery and delight that make the everyday extraordinary," said Target's Executive Vice President and Chief Guest Experience Officer Cara Sylvester in a press release.

To continue the seasonal shopping momentum, Target launched its new spring marketing campaign in April, along with the release of various new products, to encourage consumers to shop at Target rather than its rival retailers.

As an incentive to all shopaholics, Target is expanding spring and Easter offerings by introducing many trendy products across multiple sectors, including apparel and accessories, home, food and beverage, beauty, and more. The best part is that most items retail for less than $20.
