Can you believe tomorrow will be 2023? What plans for growth for your business do you want to see? One key trend predicted is customer experience. It's so strong that brands like Adobe and Adweek appointed chief experience officers (CXO) to ensure that it is a foundational element of business strategy. As well as customer experience, businesses increasingly need to think about employee experience as competition for the most talented and skilled workers grows more intense.

Did you know that the fall equinox is related to the French revolution? According to the French Republican Calendar, between 1793 and 1805, the autumnal equinox was the official start of each new year. In 1792, the French monarchy was abolished one day before the fall equinox, so the French revolutionaries designed their new calendar to start on the first day of fall. #fall #firstdayoffall #fall2022 #evolvemagazine

Today is #EarthDay! The first edition of Earth Day kicked off the national conversation on the lack of environmental laws in the country, which led to the adoption of some of the most important and comprehensive federal laws on environmental protection. This included the Clean Air Act (1970), the Clean Water Act amendment (1972), and the 1973 Endangered Species Act. In 2016, the United Nations also chose Earth Day to sign the Paris Agreement, the world’s most important and comprehensive climate agreement for limiting global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century. Check out the checklist below and see how you can help the earth!

2020 was a record-breaking year for online shopping: 100 million consumers shopped online (up 8% YoY). Meanwhile, there was a huge drop in in-person Black Friday shopping -- 58.7 million hit the stores on Black Friday (down 37% YoY). On Thanksgiving Day, the drop in in-person shopping was even more pronounced, due to major retailers being closed -- foot traffic dropped 55% YoY (2020 vs. 2019). Do you want to take a guess what will happen this year? (Source: NRF 2020 data) - #blackfriday #blackfriday2021 #shopping #shop #shopblackfriday #sale #promotions #deals #evolvemagazine

Happy Labor Day! Did you know....that according to the HISTORY Channel, the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the U.S., the average American worked 12-hour days and seven-day weeks in order to eke out a basic living. Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. As labor unions became more prominent and vocal, working conditions improved and September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to march from City Hall to Union Square in New York City, holding the first Labor Day parade in U.S. history. - #Laborday2021 #Laborday #evolvemagazine #daytonabeachfl #daytonabeach #workingconditions #laboruntions
