rest of the season for Target Circle members. And there are more
savings to come — consumers can expect more deals throughout the
holiday season.
New finds that delight at great prices
Target is
offering its biggest holiday assortment ever — with 50% more new

new Bullseye shop sections in nearly 200 stores with
festive Target-themed holiday gifts, most under $25. Building on the success of the fan-favorite

season, including a new ornament set, Target toy checklane, giant
Bullseye dog plush, Bullseye dog toys and Target-themed items from

announced price reductions on about 5,000 frequently purchased
items in many markets will help consumers stock up for the
season.
A dedicated team
Target's team is essential to
delivering an industry-leading holiday shopping experience. Again
this year, the retailer is investing in its team by first offering
current team members opportunities to work extra hours throughout
the holiday season. Target also continues to leverage its On Demand
team in its stores, a group of team members who can pick up shifts
as desired, allowing them to balance their personal, financial and
career goals.
To supplement its existing team, Target plans to hire approximately
100,000 additional seasonal team members across stores and supply
chain facilities. Seasonal team members help Target deliver a
joyful and easy holiday shopping experience by supporting Order
Pickup and Drive Up, stocking products and helping get holiday
purchases to Target guests and stores as quickly as possible. Like
Target's existing team, seasonal team members have access to a
market-leading starting wage range, health and well-being benefits
and opportunities for growth and development. Seasonal roles often
are a gateway to a continued career journey with Target; More than
half of last year's seasonal team members were offered a position
to stay with Target. Beginning Sept.
25, interested candidates can visit TargetSeasonalJobs.com
to apply for seasonal positions.
Holiday joy made easy
Target provides a convenient,
reliable and elevated experience no matter how consumers choose to
shop this season. Consumers can use the retailer's industry-leading
fulfillment services, including Drive Up and Order
Pickup, or use their Target Circle 360 benefits to have their
holiday finds delivered to their doorstep through unlimited
same-day delivery, or get free 2-day shipping when they spend
$35. Shoppers can also save an extra
5%* if they pay with Target Circle
Card, get Target Circle deals and more.
That Target (holiday) feeling
In the weeks to come,
consumers will learn more about how a stroll down Target's aisles
— or a scroll on its mobile app — will transport them to a
themed destination where holiday magic still lives and evokes that
special Target feeling. Guests will be met with larger-than-life
moments of wonder and cheer that ignite imagination and invite
discovery whether in stores, online or at one of the retailer's
immersive events.
