I recently read somewhere that 2022 is only 4 months away. It feels like we’re still processing 2020, how is 2021 almost over? Did anything change in 2021? In my opinion, some things have remained as unpredictable as ever, but obviously some things have changed for the better. Vaccinations continue to roll out…
Summer is flying by, and retailers are beginning to be inundated with back-to-school shoppers.

It is hard to believe we are already a month into 2021. Many of us were happy to say good-bye to a very unusual 2020 and welcome 2021 with open arms. But how much will change this year, or will it simply be an extension of 2020?
